I have a very home counties accent, and on a trip to Texas (and of course I'm using hyperbole) people seemed to react as though I was speaking Shakespeare, even when I was being a little coarse.
2:00 I love how they used a shark for both science, and gays, implying that gays = science, therefore that being gay is actually scientifically correct, yet they constantly scream about how "being LGBTQ+ goes against biology!!!!" The irony is strong with this one
Like I’ve said before. Maybe being bisexual is the biological default. And then when our brains develop it’s randomized whether or not you’re straight, gay, stay bisexual or become aromatic or asexual or both.
right-winger: gay people are trying to destroy families! right-winger's child: i'm gay right-winger: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE lmao the hypocrisy is so spicy
Exactly! It's the homophobe who finds they have a gay child and tells them they are no longer a part of the family for being different that destroys the family unit. The gay person still wants to be a contributing part of the family
Upvoted. This is exactly why I don't feel comfortable sharing my bi identity with my family. I still want to be a part of my family. I've heard my grandparents and family openly mock pronouns (of which I have), trans people, and be so homo/transphobic. I'm not closeted to myself anymore, but I am closeted to them, maybe eternally. I hope they can change, but with my own children, I'll be the change.
@@IvoryTowerPodcast I guess I’m playing life in danger mode. I live in an extremely rural and conservative and religious part of Canada and am openly bi and trans and dating someone from a different country. I’m happy, but I will admit, the anxiety is crippling when it gets brought up because the best I can hope for out here is “good for you, but I hate it and don’t support it. But you do you.” I hope you can get somewhere safe and be yourself. Hopefully things will get better
For those of you who don’t know, the buff man is called Gigachad. He is used to portray just general good people (example: yes, I support LGBTQ+, how can you tell? [shows Gigachad]). So the fact that he is being used for homophobic behavior is disrespecting the Gigachad name and legacy
Like if it isn't the one joke they have they either go with generic playground taunts or just type their worldview verbatim into a meme generator under the assumption that, because their manifesto self-identifies as a joke, it means that it can't be criticized because "Somethingsomething Mel Brooks".
FRR like if you’re gonna TRY to hurt someone’s feelings, at least try😂 same with transphobia. like people will be “oh you have pronouns??? Lame” even tho everyone has pronouns😭
I'm a sex repulsed asexual, so yeah, I don't need to see that. It's fine if you want to do it in the privacy of your home, but don't shove it in my face.
Lack of visibility is exactly why I struggled with my mental health for 20+ years because I’m an asexual aromantic demigirl but I didn’t discover the existence of any of those terms until my early 30’s so I suffered in silence thinking I was broken and alone from about the age of 8/9 onwards and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Thanks for reminding people why visibility matters!
Similar situation, but trans demigirl here I'm 22 and only figured it out this year because of visibility, I knew something was "off" for at least a decade but was never able to put words on it until very recently, same for my aroace-ness which I discovered in 2020 and instantly recognized in myself People aren't "converted" by visibility, it makes them realise that being different from cis-straight is possible and is exactly as valid, and that's all.
Imagine being 56 and similar to you. My 30 yr old introduced me to the terms in last 2 years, I had no idea having been brought up by a cis mum in a cis world.... Honestly, we got your back hun... Knowing yourself is the most important thing ever - be happy, be you, I really hope you have a good, happy and chilled life 👋🏼🏴
@@SqwidiotYeah, like someone has absolutely no hesitation or shame in saying that. They don’t even try to make it sound better than it is. It’s actually funny that they don’t try in the slightest not to get cancelled.
9:10 I'm glad whenever CZcamsrs outside of the US are like, "What's the Pledge of Allegiance?" because I don't think enough Americans realize how INCREDIBLY WEIRD and cult-ish sounding the pledge is to nearly everyone else in the world (excluding maybe North Korea).
I’m an American. Or at least by being born in America. And I can tell you that the first time I heard the pledge of allegiance. The first thing I thought was “…is this a cult?”
Same for me. What made it worse was that i didn't understand English at the time, sounded like gibberish, and wasn't explained to me at all. I was 8 lol
I was homeschooled by far-right religious extremists. My mother tried to make me recite the pledge of allegiance every day at "school." I eventually refused and told her "i've already pledged my allegiance, what's the point of doing it again and again?" I always felt weird about it, even as a heavily indoctrinated and sheltered kid.
Yea, it is. It's very.. idealized. What you are pledging might not be true anymore. "Liberty and freedom for all"? Not really. (On a separate note, you shouldn't be forced to say it. It should be be very clear that you always have the option to sit down. That's not the case usually.)
Also! This whole idea that "progression will kill the traditional family!!!!!" Is hysterical to me. I am non-binary and I am bisexual. I'm married to a man. I am a stay at home parent to our three children and I crochet, embroider, paint and sing. We manage to be a progressive family without compromising the "sacred" family stuff. A couple we know also live a very traditional family experience, one works from home and takes on the "homec are" duties and the other goes out to a "regular" job 9-5, despite them both being men. So it would seem, shockingly, that, just like everyone else, LGBTQ+ people are just as capable of choosing a traditional family lifestyle without compromising who they are. 🤯🤯 It's almost as if all people are just people and everyone makes the same choices in life regarding lifestyle, family, career, religion etc etc and their sexuality and gender doesn't much come in to that.
Jamie I just had to come and tell you that I used some of your videos today to help my 92 year old father understand trans people better. With all the news in the US about banning gender affirming care for kids and teenagers, he realized he didn’t really understand what everyone was talking about, but he knew which one of his kids to ask about it! 🥰 So I did my best as a queer-friendly, on-the-bi-fringes, blue haired 53 year old cis woman. But he struggled with just how much hormones could really do… so I said “would you be interested in watching a video a guy made that compiles footage of how his appearance changed over time?” and he that “yeah that would help.” So I pulled up one of yours that showed five years of T, and he was AMAZED. Then I showed him one of the short “we got married!” ones, and then the one where you and Shaaba told her little sisters you were trans. He loved them all. He had more questions but he REALLY understood how it was just as simple as knowing who and what you are and that we don’t have to understand how it feels because we haven’t experienced it. This is a man who used to be really homophobic, who once referred to a trans friend of mine as “it” (not in front of her, thank god), but who never thought of himself as anything but a kind progressive person until I would tell him he was acting like an ass. 30 years later we’re doing pretty damn good. I thought you’d like to hear a story like that. 💛🧡
10:03 What pisses me off the most here is that they used Anne from Amphibia to carry LGBTphobic thoughts. Especially since Amphibia has LGBT+ representation. Sasha is bi, Yunan and Olivia are a lesbian couple, Ally is pan and Jess is bi and they're a couple, Mayor Toadstool and Toadie are a gay couple, Mr. X is gay, and Terri is non-binary.
Yeah! This is kind of random but my cousin said his friend told him not to watch amphibia because one of the guys is gay! I responded with “which one do they mean?” And then proceeded to list most of the ones you listed. It was kind of funny, but I think I convinced him to watch it.
I had a feeling Terri was non binary :0 like I'm sorry but they did not come off as cis to me (I'm non binary myself) Yeah, the irony that they used Anne for that meme though. And it's not even funny like what?? 😂 like if you're gonna make a homophobic joke (I'd rather you not like I mean..), at least make it funny.
I love the “gay people can’t physically have children” argument because not everyone wants to have kids. There are also so many kids in shitty places who could use loving parents to adopt them. They don’t care about the kids, they’re just trying to push down the LGBTQ+
My mom telling me trans people can't have children... When I literally never wanted children, ever (well, looking back, there was one short period of time as a kid where I imagined having a daughter for the sake of teaching her to like "boy things"... turns out I just wanted to BE that girl and had no idea I could) And yeah, you don't need to MAKE the children to be a parent, since there are people who make them and don't want to be parents (or can't, there are plenty of different cases, but you probably get my point)
6:21 I have challenged a few of my friends to join me in _not_ watching shows that focus on straight couples. The two who actually joined me for it were shocked at how so many shows and movies they didn't consider to have romance at all did, in fact, have the main dude kissing or outright sleeping with at least one woman. And then we watched a few episodes of a show with a gay couple in it, and at first they were annoyed with how "in your face" the gay couple were, except... they weren't. They were doing the same exact things that straight couples do, but because it's a novel scene, it stood out more. (I think it was _Modern Family?_ I can't remember; it's been a few years). Like, you might ignore a group of boys playing football in the background of a scene at a school, but if it were girls you'd notice immediately, because it's rare to see girls join in on contact sports, let alone two whole teams' worth. It's like what Knuckles said in Sonic Boom about feminism: Treating every single time that a female does well as an outlier instead of the norm, _prevents it from becoming the norm._ The same is true for LGBTQ+ stuff. If people stopped freaking out every time it showed up, they'd stop noticing when it did, because it would then be _normal._
The "protecting the kids from the gay" thing kills me. Y'all have no idea how much of my life was spent hating myself (and, consequently, other queer people) because I had it drilled into my head in my youth that anything LGBT+ is some weird deviance that, while harmless overall, is by no means acceptable and should be shunned from polite society. I was 20 before I came to accept myself. I'm 27 now. I still cannot be out in my own home because my mom's made it clear that having a queer child is a sign of her moral failing as a parent, and with the way the economy is right now it doesn't look like I'll be able to leave her house any time soon. Had I known as a child that how I felt was normal and ok, I'd probably be less of a mess than I am. Whatever your beliefs, as a parent or someone who takes care of a child, your main goal should be helping that person to be a well-rounded, healthy adult. Letting your kids know it's not ok to be gay is the opposite of that, and I don't understand how anyone who says they care for their child can also potentially deny them a major part of their identity without any trace of irony about it.
@@fuzzymath6240 Well those are certainly all words, arranged into something vaguely shaped like a sentence. Overall it's one of the better attempts I've seen from a conservative that's trying to imitate a human.
I'm so sorry that you are in that position. I have two children, and I cannot imagine telling them that there is something wrong with who they are or who they love. A parent's job is to accept, love, and support their children.
By now, "deciding to be lesbian" always reads to me as "a closeted bi person who finally allows herself to explore the side of her attraction she has repressed until now". If you can decide, there's at least one other option for you, so you're either bi or even pansexual.
10:05 gotta love the irony of having Anne Boonchoy from Amphibia (a show with canon--but sutle--LGBTQ+ rep) calling the progress flag gross Ps. Love your content Jamie! Also, ya'll are valid whether you're new to the community or you've been here for years. Have a great day/night!
Hot take: Progress flag IS gross. the straight up rainbow used to have an all encompassing meaning. But the progress like is becoming more like a list. So now instead of just LGBTQ it’s now “Gay + trans” which can be more exclusionary. Before it was all encompassing but now it’s “where’s the bi section” “where is the NB section” “what about ace?”
@@jnl7196 shaaba has a great video talking just about that, 100% recommend. Though I don't think the flag is gross. I think it's a cute little extra flag for people who feel like using it. I just don't think it should be the main one.
They're used to rainbows being threatening after The Sky Wizard in their Big Book of Fairy Tales used a rainbow to promise not to drown all of humanity again. That Big Book of Fairy Tales has them doing all sorts of silly things, all because they're afraid of the Invisible Sky Wizard.
As Kermit once said, "Why are there so many, Songs about rainbows, And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, But only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide"
@@tjenadonn6158 But the rainbow was supposed to be a promise that it would never happen again. Of course, people also often speak of the horrible curse of "the Mark of Cain", forgetting that it was actually a *_PARDON_* from God for his crime, warning anyone who met him that they must not try to harm him or God would strike them down. People get all sorts of things wrong, even when they're spelled out for them very clearly. No wonder Jesus couldn't stand them, and would often lose his temper abruptly in the middle of a lesson and run off into the desert for days on end.
Before the progress flag, there was a version of the pride flag that had a black stripe on the bottom, for people who were lost to HIV/AIDS. This seems to largely have been forgotten since finding accurate queer history online for the 90s and earlier is more difficult. In any case, it seems to me the homophobe knew this and was making a crude joke towards the loss of queer lives, but on the flip side, this is the first I've heard from that crew that we'd have a chance to be accepted into heaven at all! lol
I think the homophobe was just adding a black spot & saying they had no chance of reaching heaven 'cuz the rainbow flag just meant "gay" to them. I think you're reading too much into it. These morons don't do things like researching anything. That would require work, & actually using their brains for something other than the bigotry they engage in.
Once I had a friend who I tried to come out to in a subtle and creative way over video call, like I had a big ass trans flag displayed on a monitor in the background. And he just looked at me but kept talking And other people in the call were like “wtf? Why isn’t he reacting?” And when it became awkward enough he said “do you want a trophy? A cookie?” And I’m like “no, I just want some kind of reaction. An acknowledgement of any kind, literally anything that isn’t awkward silence” But apparently that’s attention seeking
If it’s a reaction you’re looking for, I’m happy to give you that, as another trans person on the internet. So, good for you that you found who you are and have the courage to come out! Sending virtual cookies, unless you don’t like cookies, in which case… umm… potato chips, or something you do enjoy.
i believe normalizing it by not making a big deal out of it is great, but outright ignoring the fact that u were brave enough to come out isn't normalizing anythin. ur friend (which i hope isn't ur friend anymore) could have at least acknowledged u coming out and still not make a big deal out of it. sayin "do you want a trophy/cookie?" is so rude, i rlly hope u aren't friends with them anymore or at the very least they apologized for that. sending much love to u 🫶🫶
@@concept5631 well… we were never really super close. I haven’t talked to him in awhile but we aren’t on bad terms. It was just an awkward one off situation.
@@alkalimepie yeah like I didn’t want a huge reaction but not being acknowledged in practice made me think he didn’t hear or was distracted by something. So when he lashed out I was like “you didn’t acknowledge that I even said anything, so sorry for pushing, just wanted to know you acknowledged me” I think it was just a miscommunication. We didn’t like fight or anything it was just awkward
I was talking to my bro about favorite subjects ... he's into History and I'm into Science ... He said, "Science doesn't answer anything." And he says "The Bible is Historical events." I can't ...
Anyone who thinks the bible is entirely accurate needs to get their head looked at. Even good Christians know that it's full of edits and mistranslations.
As a "progressive" Christian who tries very hard to follow Christ's example of love and acceptance, it's awful that people who claim to have the same values as me are using Jesus's name to sin against at least 10% of the population. They sin by hurting a community and trying to say that they have the authority to judge people. When people accept God's Grace, we accept God's love and show our love by loving our fellow man. Pride is about acceptance, God is about love, and there is more than enough to go around in the great universe.
And them using their faith, your faith, to excuse it is also breaking your religion's doctrine The "you shouldn't say the Lord's name in vain" part Thank you for being an ally even if its not that much
@@rebeccasatterley1542you should love your and treat them nicely but if they start acting crazy they're no longer your they're just a crazy person acting
9:00 Yes, Jamie, as someone from the states you are correct that it is called the pledge of allegiance Many of us are against the concept of forcing kids to do it. We were basically trained to say words we barely understand at young ages. A lot of us thought the word “indivisible” was “invisible” because we didn’t know the word indivisible. Yet the school was coercing us into saying it, and if a kid didn’t want to say it there was problem. It’s definitely “interesting”
“Only straight white people can feel love” that whole thing is ridiculous if it’s true. Also the “romanticism” movement within art and literature was not about what we would consider romance today, romantic used to mean dramatic or tragic. A lot of art from the romantic period was violent and several of the most well known depicted cannibalism. Also, I personally think the reason why people think that women, black people, or LGBTQ people, (or other oppressed groups) are going to kill them, is because that's what those people either have done, or wish to do deep down. They as oppressors have an idea that what they did was wrong, but they justify it as human nature. Then they assume that is what the oppressed will do if they are no longer silenced and shoved to the margins. It really only reflects badly on them.
reality like there's no such things as being trans?? That men that are born men will always be men?? I don't think your group should make comments about the term reality.
Another thing that really strikes me as odd is when homophobes say that they aren't homophobes because they aren't scared of gay people. But homo just means the same and not gay. The thing with homophobes is that when they try to say something smart they just heard it somewhere and don't spend a single thought on it themselves...
@@dark7859 And they fail to realize being queer is a psychology thing and that your fucking genitals don't define you. Moral of the story? More homophobes need to... go to college for... a psychology degree? Yeah idek where I'm going with this
i nearly got in actual trouble for not saying the pledge of allegiance during school. the teacher tried to tell me that was illegal and another student made him google it.
Just reminds me of my eldest daughter randomly shouting "I'm gay" around the house and without fail my husband or I would shout back "so is the rest of the family!" 😆 Bc there's not a single straight twig on our family tree 😂 ATM the only "straight" people are all under 10yo and nobody expects that to last. Our family motto could be "Everyone's a little bit bi" and tbh I think for our species it actually is the biological norm, bc it's fun and fun with friends is always better than without 😁
@AprilDawn Sunshine That’s kinda like with my siblings. Except they’re two straight people in the group. The reason I say two is that I’m pretty sure my second oldest sister is aroace. But I don’t know for sure. Anyways. I would love to have been adopted by you instead of my parents. They both are very anti LGBTQ. And they have said some pretty bad stuff about trans people. Unknowingly right in front of their gay trans daughter. I had a panic attack because of them. And I can’t smile anymore because of them. I am extremely touch starved. And I feel empty.
I'm pretty sure some studies have estimated most of the species is in fact bi, and history records show that people who exclusively were with one gender was considered weird- even what we'd call straight today. Heterosexuality was originally a mental disorder, "a perversion of the opposite sex", just like how homosexuality was originally considered a disorder That being said I'm fairly confident I'm 100% gay. Never felt any attraction for a woman. I'll certainly platonically cuddle them though (my best friend is a woman)
@@shadowking278 big big hugs sweetie 🥰 I can't and won't say I handled everything perfectly with her, but everyone deserves love and hopefully in the future your parents will see they've been mislead and try to make up for their mistakes.

@@vaughnhaney7020 any set is going to have variance from one end of the scale to the other. That's actually how we came up with a lot of psychology historically and today so it follows that those at the farthest ends of the spectrum of sexuality would initially be seen as disordered or dysfunctional until social expectations expanded to include them. Imo that's happening now with nuerodivergence, we're expanding the definitions of what's acceptable and required behavior and suddenly they're no longer considered outside the lines enough to be dysfunctional bc we started making space for the way they function. (Hope that makes sense, I have a headache lol )
@AprilDawn Sunshine Thanks. And not handling it well at first. But coming around to it later would have been much better than what they did when my brother came out as trans. He moved out at the best time. They have called him crazy because he is trans. (Still is. Just not for that reason) They could change. But I highly doubt it. They grew up in the 50s. So it would take a while. But I’m not alone with this. I am out as gay to most of my siblings. And my niece is actually the first one to maybe find out that I am trans. (First as In before me.) But I’ve still been having problems with the gender dysphoria and extreme burn out. I’ve been having flashbacks to the time I was close to…doing something bad to myself.
Homophobes: LGBT+ people are such snowflakes Also homophobes when they see two dudes showing affection towards eachother: omg two men having feelings for eachother, loving eachother for who they are? That's disgusting, think of the children! I'm such a good parent. Also the irony of them using Anne from Amphibia for a homophobic joke 😂 like, have you not watched the whole show? Yikes, my dude.
also them: elects politicians that are genuine rapists and pedophiles and attack drag queens for no explainable reason. And any “reason” is just a bunch of ramblings and ridiculous claims about “gays are horrible because it “threatens” the family unit”with absolutely little to ZERO evidence to back those claims.

Hey so these people who say you "DECIDE" to be gay lesbian ect. My theory is the vast majority are bi/pan and are attracted to men and women sexually and think by CHOOSING to be with Eve and not Steve they chose to be straight, and gays can do the same.
The hilarious thing about the meme at 4:48 is that most LGBT+ folk would probably be overjoyed if bigots would stop paying so much damn attention to us. Back to the bin with these horrid memes!
Exactly!

I remember those stairs being tweeted, and it wasn't even about LGBT. The original photo was about a community trying to get those stairs replaced with safer ones. They were painted by a man in protest/awareness, officials painted them grey to hush the movement, and the whole community painted them rainbow again. Eventually, the stairs were demolished (as shown) to build new, safe ones, and those are officially rainbow in homage to the entire community's solidarity. Again, it was never a gay anything at all. The Community Notes were awesome. 😂

About that one with the sharks and "oh I’m so heroic for holding my child up walking through science and gay sharks"... more people die annually from FALLING COCONUTS than sharks. 150 per year to 5 per year. I’m going to make a drawing of me holding my child up, wading through coconuts up to my hips, having said coconuts being labeled "transphobes", "homophobes" "racists", and "Nazis". At least it would be accurate.
its embarrassing seeing these memes and realizing how little these people self-reflect. they see one gay person and go "AGH the world is ending! these gays are everywhere!" because to them its so strange and unusual that they spend all their time thinking about it, ignoring how little of it actually is. tell me you've never used your brain without telling me you've never used your brain.

Wouldn’t earbuds solve the problem? Probably not the cheapest solution if you want good audio. But still would get results. 🤔 I don’t use a hair dryer because I have short hair. (Really wish it was longer.) so I don’t know if it would do anything to block out the sound.

I'm going to Pride with my daughter and her wife next month. I'll be holding the sign offering mom hugs. And to anyone who needs one of those hugs, be as dramatic as you want. Attention seek my arse!
@@nova14414 I'm so so sorry. My daughter has a friend who's family is Mormon and not on board with his transitioning so we've "adopted" him.

I definitely need a hug right now. I haven’t had any physical contact in…probably 8 years. I’m so touch starved that I feel cold even in 90 degree heat. I honestly would go to the pride parade. But I can’t because both my parents are anti LGBTQ. They have said some bad stuff about the community. Right in front of their gay trans daughter. And it broke me. I had a panic attack and passed out. Ever since then I’ve felt hollow. And recently I’ve been having flashbacks to the time I held a knife to my wrist. …this probably isn’t the best place to vent. But I can’t get therapy because of my parents. I already have a physiatrist. But my parents usually sit in on my appointments. So I can’t vent. Once again. I apologize for venting.
@@shadowking278 That is so effing awful and I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of this BS and from your parents no less. I'm not the OP mom but I would give you a bunch of hugs and smuggle you to canada and feed you timbits while letting you vent. Keep hanging in there, even if it's shit and I know that I'm asking a LOT out of you right now by asking you to hold on. I can't tell you that it'll get better, but I'm asking you to keep fighting for yourself. You're already doing a fantastic job even if you don't feel like you are, and I'm sorry that I don't have a good solution.
@Neo Qwerty 『Venom Strike』 It’s a struggle. And I have been trying to stop scratching my neck and arms whenever I feel like I’m starting to have a panic attack. But it’s been so hard feeling hollow. At some points I feel like I’m just watching my life as an outsider. And I can’t even try to take a mental health break. My mom would just drag me out to do errands. And even at the house. I’m called for everything. And recently I’ve been just throwing myself into my jobs to try and take my mind off of this. But even then I feel like I’m just in the way. It’s gotten so bad that my hair has been turning white and thinning. The only reason I’m here. Is because I know my family would miss me. I really wish I could have been adopted by someone who is supportive and actually cares about my mental health instead of sitting in on my psychiatrist appointments.
as a christian, i just want to say sorry on behalf of all supportive christians. the people who use christianity as an excuse to be hateful are spreading blasphemy and twisting the lords words. being of different sexuality is completely fine and valid. god wouldn’t send you to hell for something you can’t control, let alone make you go to hell for something he quite possibly gave you intentionally.
Jamie, what's your opinion on writing a book about an important character that's trans when you're not trans yourself? I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community (ace lesbian), but not trans. I've been a trans ally for about a decade, but I don't have a strong sense of gender myself at all, so I sometimes struggle to understand what it's like to have such a strong gender identity that you realise you're not cis. My character's story isn't about his gender identity at all, but about mental health and falling in love. How do I include a trans character without understand the mechanism of gender identity? I really want to give diverse and non-stereotypical examples of trans characters in my books since I write a lot about the LGBTQ+ community, but is it right of me to include something I don't fully understand? On the other hand I've written about vampires and I can't say I fully understand that either...
Realizing youre trans and finding your identity is like pulling out a splinter you had stuck in your foot. Walking feels right again and from my experience I just kinda became happier and less aggressive
as a trans man i think its completely fine. none can fully understand it unless they've went through it, you should just do some research if you're gonna involve their gender identity as a subject and i think itd be fine.
Sensitivity readers are a great option to have. If you have trans folx in your life, you can ask if they’ll give you some feedback on your writing so far. Otherwise, asking online for some readers to give feedback is an option too. Biggest advice is to be open to criticism and not get defensive if you did get anything wrong. You’re asking for feedback so you can make sure the character is the best they can be, so being open to learn how to improve is really important-both for you and anyone you’re seeking advice from.
I would just watch lots of interviews of trans people and how they talk about their experience. You don't have to experience something first hand to understand and talk meaningfully about it, so good luck with your book! Edit: your comparison with vampires absolutely rocks, I think there's a lot of things in writing that better be looked at at this perspective
@Calamity Jean You don't feel threatened because there's nothing to be threatened about. Can't help wondering why anyone feels threatened by the trans/LGB phenomenon
@@melissabarrett9750 Your reply feels a teensy-tiny bit too serious for what is clearly a joking jab at the homophobes, but hey, I undertstand that you're frustrated AT the homophobes. I guess some cishets feel threatened because they simply don't understand what being queer means, thus they don't know Facts (obviously), thus they are scared. Because it is unknown to them. Which, ultimately, is just a humane reaction. Fortunately, the smart ones will understand through mere communication that no, queerness isn't a phase nor a disease, and then they'll just go "Love is love. Do whatever. You're free." And it's nice when that happens. Unfortunately, religion used for bad stuff is STILL a thing, and preachy people can't help themselves and try to save others from whatever hell THEY believe in, not caring whether the people they want to "save" actually WANT to be "sAveD" in the first place. Yes, I have a beef with religion as a poor excuse to be mean and dumb.
Ah yes, actually for the last two years I decided to be a lesbian, but since I’m very attention seeking I choose this month to be omni! Now people have to ask me what sexuality I have and what it means!
Funny thing is that the comic with the guy hitting kids with his car works better as an anti-homophobic joke. Like, have you seen the stupid and convolution way homophobes try to avoid LGBT themed stairs/crosswalks ?

Lack of visibility is exactly why I struggled with my mental health for 20+ years because I’m an asexual aromantic demigirl but I didn’t discover the existence of any of those terms until my early 30’s so I suffered in silence thinking I was broken and alone from about the age of 8/9 onwards and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Thanks for reminding people why visibility matters!
Similar situation, but trans demigirl here
I'm 22 and only figured it out this year because of visibility, I knew something was "off" for at least a decade but was never able to put words on it until very recently, same for my aroace-ness which I discovered in 2020 and instantly recognized in myself
People aren't "converted" by visibility, it makes them realise that being different from cis-straight is possible and is exactly as valid, and that's all.
Imagine being 56 and similar to you. My 30 yr old introduced me to the terms in last 2 years, I had no idea having been brought up by a cis mum in a cis world.... Honestly, we got your back hun...

9:10 I'm glad whenever CZcamsrs outside of the US are like, "What's the Pledge of Allegiance?" because I don't think enough Americans realize how INCREDIBLY WEIRD and cult-ish sounding the pledge is to nearly everyone else in the world (excluding maybe North Korea).
I’m an American. Or at least by being born in America. And I can tell you that the first time I heard the pledge of allegiance. The first thing I thought was “…is this a cult?”
Same for me. What made it worse was that i didn't understand English at the time, sounded like gibberish, and wasn't explained to me at all. I was 8 lol
I was homeschooled by far-right religious extremists. My mother tried to make me recite the pledge of allegiance every day at "school."
I eventually refused and told her "i've already pledged my allegiance, what's the point of doing it again and again?"
I always felt weird about it, even as a heavily indoctrinated and sheltered kid.
I’m in the US too and my Canadian friends ask “ What’s up with the flag obsession?” I don’t get it either, ugh the pledge is weird.
Yea, it is. It's very.. idealized. What you are pledging might not be true anymore. "Liberty and freedom for all"? Not really. (On a separate note, you shouldn't be forced to say it. It should be be very clear that you always have the option to sit down. That's not the case usually.)
Also! This whole idea that "progression will kill the traditional family!!!!!" Is hysterical to me. I am non-binary and I am bisexual. I'm married to a man. I am a stay at home parent to our three children and I crochet, embroider, paint and sing. We manage to be a progressive family without compromising the "sacred" family stuff. A couple we know also live a very traditional family experience, one works from home and takes on the "homec are" duties and the other goes out to a "regular" job 9-5, despite them both being men.
So it would seem, shockingly, that, just like everyone else, LGBTQ+ people are just as capable of choosing a traditional family lifestyle without compromising who they are. 🤯🤯 It's almost as if all people are just people and everyone makes the same choices in life regarding lifestyle, family, career, religion etc etc and their sexuality and gender doesn't much come in to that.
This commemt was so heartwarming and nice to read. Thanks for sharing!
If you're a gay scientist... does that mean you're a megalodon? A super shark?

Jamie I just had to come and tell you that I used some of your videos today to help my 92 year old father understand trans people better. With all the news in the US about banning gender affirming care for kids and teenagers, he realized he didn’t really understand what everyone was talking about, but he knew which one of his kids to ask about it! 🥰 So I did my best as a queer-friendly, on-the-bi-fringes, blue haired 53 year old cis woman. But he struggled with just how much hormones could really do… so I said “would you be interested in watching a video a guy made that compiles footage of how his appearance changed over time?” and he that “yeah that would help.” So I pulled up one of yours that showed five years of T, and he was AMAZED. Then I showed him one of the short “we got married!” ones, and then the one where you and Shaaba told her little sisters you were trans. He loved them all. He had more questions but he REALLY understood how it was just as simple as knowing who and what you are and that we don’t have to understand how it feels because we haven’t experienced it.
This is a man who used to be really homophobic, who once referred to a trans friend of mine as “it” (not in front of her, thank god), but who never thought of himself as anything but a kind progressive person until I would tell him he was acting like an ass. 30 years later we’re doing pretty damn good.
I thought you’d like to hear a story like that. 💛🧡
Tell your pa he's cool and I hope that when I'm his age (I'm 35) I'm still that willing to learn new things.
Thank you for sharing. It's great to hear that your dad is willing to make the effort of learning and understanding.
@stopgbtokay, so?
10:03 What pisses me off the most here is that they used Anne from Amphibia to carry LGBTphobic thoughts. Especially since Amphibia has LGBT+ representation.
Sasha is bi, Yunan and Olivia are a lesbian couple, Ally is pan and Jess is bi and they're a couple, Mayor Toadstool and Toadie are a gay couple, Mr. X is gay, and Terri is non-binary.
Yeah! This is kind of random but my cousin said his friend told him not to watch amphibia because one of the guys is gay! I responded with “which one do they mean?” And then proceeded to list most of the ones you listed. It was kind of funny, but I think I convinced him to watch it.
I had a feeling Terri was non binary :0 like I'm sorry but they did not come off as cis to me (I'm non binary myself)
Yeah, the irony that they used Anne for that meme though. And it's not even funny like what?? 😂 like if you're gonna make a homophobic joke (I'd rather you not like I mean..), at least make it funny.
And Jenny, (Mr X's assistant) who's nonbinary, right? Uses they/them and is called honey and hubby by Mr X I think.
Also Anne herself is gay coded. Note that scene when Hop Pop asks her if she has a boyfriend back home, and she shoves him off the cart.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS BRO AND ANNE IS CANON SAPPHIC TOO
I love the “gay people can’t physically have children” argument because not everyone wants to have kids. There are also so many kids in shitty places who could use loving parents to adopt them. They don’t care about the kids, they’re just trying to push down the LGBTQ+
My mom telling me trans people can't have children... When I literally never wanted children, ever (well, looking back, there was one short period of time as a kid where I imagined having a daughter for the sake of teaching her to like "boy things"... turns out I just wanted to BE that girl and had no idea I could)
And yeah, you don't need to MAKE the children to be a parent, since there are people who make them and don't want to be parents (or can't, there are plenty of different cases, but you probably get my point)
6:21 I have challenged a few of my friends to join me in _not_ watching shows that focus on straight couples.
The two who actually joined me for it were shocked at how so many shows and movies they didn't consider to have romance at all did, in fact, have the main dude kissing or outright sleeping with at least one woman. And then we watched a few episodes of a show with a gay couple in it, and at first they were annoyed with how "in your face" the gay couple were, except... they weren't. They were doing the same exact things that straight couples do, but because it's a novel scene, it stood out more. (I think it was _Modern Family?_ I can't remember; it's been a few years).
Like, you might ignore a group of boys playing football in the background of a scene at a school, but if it were girls you'd notice immediately, because it's rare to see girls join in on contact sports, let alone two whole teams' worth.
It's like what Knuckles said in Sonic Boom about feminism: Treating every single time that a female does well as an outlier instead of the norm, _prevents it from becoming the norm._ The same is true for LGBTQ+ stuff. If people stopped freaking out every time it showed up, they'd stop noticing when it did, because it would then be _normal._
I love that they straight up said they are anti science in the shark one
That one was really, REALLY bizarre.
BTW, a shark is a bringer of knowledge and sexual awakening in some Polynesian myths.

For those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like opression.
The "protecting the kids from the gay" thing kills me. Y'all have no idea how much of my life was spent hating myself (and, consequently, other queer people) because I had it drilled into my head in my youth that anything LGBT+ is some weird deviance that, while harmless overall, is by no means acceptable and should be shunned from polite society. I was 20 before I came to accept myself. I'm 27 now. I still cannot be out in my own home because my mom's made it clear that having a queer child is a sign of her moral failing as a parent, and with the way the economy is right now it doesn't look like I'll be able to leave her house any time soon. Had I known as a child that how I felt was normal and ok, I'd probably be less of a mess than I am. Whatever your beliefs, as a parent or someone who takes care of a child, your main goal should be helping that person to be a well-rounded, healthy adult. Letting your kids know it's not ok to be gay is the opposite of that, and I don't understand how anyone who says they care for their child can also potentially deny them a major part of their identity without any trace of irony about it.
I hope you can find your own safe space soon!

By now, "deciding to be lesbian" always reads to me as "a closeted bi person who finally allows herself to explore the side of her attraction she has repressed until now". If you can decide, there's at least one other option for you, so you're either bi or even pansexual.

Hot take: Progress flag IS gross. the straight up rainbow used to have an all encompassing meaning. But the progress like is becoming more like a list. So now instead of just LGBTQ it’s now “Gay + trans” which can be more exclusionary. Before it was all encompassing but now it’s “where’s the bi section” “where is the NB section” “what about ace?”
@@jnl7196 shaaba has a great video talking just about that, 100% recommend. Though I don't think the flag is gross. I think it's a cute little extra flag for people who feel like using it. I just don't think it should be the main one.
it tickles me whenever they try to make rainbows seem threatening.
They're used to rainbows being threatening after The Sky Wizard in their Big Book of Fairy Tales used a rainbow to promise not to drown all of humanity again. That Big Book of Fairy Tales has them doing all sorts of silly things, all because they're afraid of the Invisible Sky Wizard.

"Why are there so many,

Of course, people also often speak of the horrible curse of "the Mark of Cain", forgetting that it was actually a *_PARDON_* from God for his crime, warning anyone who met him that they must not try to harm him or God would strike them down.
People get all sorts of things wrong, even when they're spelled out for them very clearly. No wonder Jesus couldn't stand them, and would often lose his temper abruptly in the middle of a lesson and run off into the desert for days on end.

Before the progress flag, there was a version of the pride flag that had a black stripe on the bottom, for people who were lost to HIV/AIDS. This seems to largely have been forgotten since finding accurate queer history online for the 90s and earlier is more difficult. In any case, it seems to me the homophobe knew this and was making a crude joke towards the loss of queer lives, but on the flip side, this is the first I've heard from that crew that we'd have a chance to be accepted into heaven at all! lol
I think the homophobe was just adding a black spot & saying they had no chance of reaching heaven 'cuz the rainbow flag just meant "gay" to them. I think you're reading too much into it. These morons don't do things like researching anything. That would require work, & actually using their brains for something other than the bigotry they engage in.
I love the progress pride flag
Once I had a friend who I tried to come out to in a subtle and creative way over video call, like I had a big ass trans flag displayed on a monitor in the background.
And he just looked at me but kept talking
And other people in the call were like “wtf? Why isn’t he reacting?”
And when it became awkward enough he said “do you want a trophy? A cookie?” And I’m like “no, I just want some kind of reaction. An acknowledgement of any kind, literally anything that isn’t awkward silence”
But apparently that’s attention seeking
Sorry you went through that.

As a "progressive" Christian who tries very hard to follow Christ's example of love and acceptance, it's awful that people who claim to have the same values as me are using Jesus's name to sin against at least 10% of the population. They sin by hurting a community and trying to say that they have the authority to judge people. When people accept God's Grace, we accept God's love and show our love by loving our fellow man. Pride is about acceptance, God is about love, and there is more than enough to go around in the great universe.

Yes, Jamie, as someone from the states you are correct that it is called the pledge of allegiance
Many of us are against the concept of forcing kids to do it. We were basically trained to say words we barely understand at young ages. A lot of us thought the word “indivisible” was “invisible” because we didn’t know the word indivisible. Yet the school was coercing us into saying it, and if a kid didn’t want to say it there was problem.
It’s definitely “interesting”
now that's nationalism
“Only straight white people can feel love” that whole thing is ridiculous if it’s true. Also the “romanticism” movement within art and literature was not about what we would consider romance today, romantic used to mean dramatic or tragic. A lot of art from the romantic period was violent and several of the most well known depicted cannibalism.
Also, I personally think the reason why people think that women, black people, or LGBTQ people, (or other oppressed groups) are going to kill them, is because that's what those people either have done, or wish to do deep down. They as oppressors have an idea that what they did was wrong, but they justify it as human nature. Then they assume that is what the oppressed will do if they are no longer silenced and shoved to the margins. It really only reflects badly on them.
Homophobes be like: oh no, they‘re forcing me to face reality!😩

reality like there's no such things as being trans?? That men that are born men will always be men??
I don't think your group should make comments about the term reality.
Another thing that really strikes me as odd is when homophobes say that they aren't homophobes because they aren't scared of gay people. But homo just means the same and not gay.
The thing with homophobes is that when they try to say something smart they just heard it somewhere and don't spend a single thought on it themselves...
Also "phobia" doesn't just mean fear, it's extreme fear OR AVERSION to something, so it doesn't even mean what they think it means

Just reminds me of my eldest daughter randomly shouting "I'm gay" around the house and without fail my husband or I would shout back "so is the rest of the family!" 😆 Bc there's not a single straight twig on our family tree 😂 ATM the only "straight" people are all under 10yo and nobody expects that to last. Our family motto could be "Everyone's a little bit bi" and tbh I think for our species it actually is the biological norm, bc it's fun and fun with friends is always better than without 😁
@AprilDawn Sunshine
That’s kinda like with my siblings. Except they’re two straight people in the group. The reason I say two is that I’m pretty sure my second oldest sister is aroace. But I don’t know for sure.
Anyways. I would love to have been adopted by you instead of my parents. They both are very anti LGBTQ. And they have said some pretty bad stuff about trans people. Unknowingly right in front of their gay trans daughter.
I had a panic attack because of them. And I can’t smile anymore because of them.
I am extremely touch starved. And I feel empty.
I'm pretty sure some studies have estimated most of the species is in fact bi, and history records show that people who exclusively were with one gender was considered weird- even what we'd call straight today. Heterosexuality was originally a mental disorder, "a perversion of the opposite sex", just like how homosexuality was originally considered a disorder
That being said I'm fairly confident I'm 100% gay. Never felt any attraction for a woman. I'll certainly platonically cuddle them though (my best friend is a woman)
@@shadowking278 big big hugs sweetie 🥰 I can't and won't say I handled everything perfectly with her, but everyone deserves love and hopefully in the future your parents will see they've been mislead and try to make up for their mistakes.

@@vaughnhaney7020 any set is going to have variance from one end of the scale to the other. That's actually how we came up with a lot of psychology historically and today so it follows that those at the farthest ends of the spectrum of sexuality would initially be seen as disordered or dysfunctional until social expectations expanded to include them. Imo that's happening now with nuerodivergence, we're expanding the definitions of what's acceptable and required behavior and suddenly they're no longer considered outside the lines enough to be dysfunctional bc we started making space for the way they function. (Hope that makes sense, I have a headache lol )
@AprilDawn Sunshine
Thanks. And not handling it well at first. But coming around to it later would have been much better than what they did when my brother came out as trans. He moved out at the best time. They have called him crazy because he is trans. (Still is. Just not for that reason)
They could change. But I highly doubt it. They grew up in the 50s. So it would take a while.
But I’m not alone with this. I am out as gay to most of my siblings. And my niece is actually the first one to maybe find out that I am trans. (First as In before me.)
But I’ve still been having problems with the gender dysphoria and extreme burn out. I’ve been having flashbacks to the time I was close to…doing something bad to myself.

I concur.
Jamie, what's your opinion on writing a book about an important character that's trans when you're not trans yourself? I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community (ace lesbian), but not trans. I've been a trans ally for about a decade, but I don't have a strong sense of gender myself at all, so I sometimes struggle to understand what it's like to have such a strong gender identity that you realise you're not cis. My character's story isn't about his gender identity at all, but about mental health and falling in love.
How do I include a trans character without understand the mechanism of gender identity? I really want to give diverse and non-stereotypical examples of trans characters in my books since I write a lot about the LGBTQ+ community, but is it right of me to include something I don't fully understand? On the other hand I've written about vampires and I can't say I fully understand that either...
Realizing youre trans and finding your identity is like pulling out a splinter you had stuck in your foot. Walking feels right again and from my experience I just kinda became happier and less aggressive
as a trans man i think its completely fine. none can fully understand it unless they've went through it, you should just do some research if you're gonna involve their gender identity as a subject and i think itd be fine.
Sensitivity readers are a great option to have. If you have trans folx in your life, you can ask if they’ll give you some feedback on your writing so far. Otherwise, asking online for some readers to give feedback is an option too.
Biggest advice is to be open to criticism and not get defensive if you did get anything wrong. You’re asking for feedback so you can make sure the character is the best they can be, so being open to learn how to improve is really important-both for you and anyone you’re seeking advice from.
Try reading some autobiographies of trans people to learn more. I always liked She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders.
I would just watch lots of interviews of trans people and how they talk about their experience. You don't have to experience something first hand to understand and talk meaningfully about it, so good luck with your book!
Edit: your comparison with vampires absolutely rocks, I think there's a lot of things in writing that better be looked at at this perspective

I guess some cishets feel threatened because they simply don't understand what being queer means, thus they don't know Facts (obviously), thus they are scared. Because it is unknown to them. Which, ultimately, is just a humane reaction.
Fortunately, the smart ones will understand through mere communication that no, queerness isn't a phase nor a disease, and then they'll just go "Love is love. Do whatever. You're free." And it's nice when that happens.
Unfortunately, religion used for bad stuff is STILL a thing, and preachy people can't help themselves and try to save others from whatever hell THEY believe in, not caring whether the people they want to "save" actually WANT to be "sAveD" in the first place.
