As a lesbian, I can confirm that never in a million years would I wear a dress that looks like that. I’m not a butch lesbian either and genuinely love the colors on our flag, but whenever it’s just plastered onto a dress like that, it just looks tacky and lazy to me.
Target’s like “Lesbian flag dress? Make it BAD MATERNITY WEAR!!”
I probably would've worn it but seeing these comments make me think my taste is awful
@@exceptionallyriso i would have, but the cut’s bad 🥲

I was thinking of wearing it with some pink sandals and leggings underneath and then I'll put a dupatta on top of the dress, mix some stuff up

Girl- my aunt went to Target the other day, and when she got back she handed me a wrapped stuffie and told me to open it. When I tell you I was shocked to find a freaking bat stuffie with the trans pride flag as it's colors, I mean SHOCKED. Jason the ftm bat is now hung on my door and will stay there until I die

I stood in the middle of the target pride section and started cry laughing over a lesbian colored giraffe. I cannot.
Holy shit yes 😂
They have a lesbian giraffe? I gotta get my ass to Target
"I AM A GIRAFFE WHO LIKES EATING OUT WOMEN. PLEASE BUY ME"
I need it. I must go find that now.
Lesbian giraffe, welcome to my collection of plushies
Instead of terribly designed pride merch from corporations, let’s agree to support small lgbtq+ creators this pride month ^-^
That's why I buy my pride gear either at pride events or Etsy. Support your crafty gays.
I always buy my gay gear from Etsy or Shopify. Or direct from the people who make it (in the case of Trash Queen, Fluide, et cetera) since not only are you supporting small businesses, you're also supporting LGBT+ artists, makers, and shop owners. And that's cool.
Yeeeesss!
Agreed stitchess, also love your content.
Yes
My mom got me the “Trans rights are human rights shirt” from target cuz she knows I’m trans but dosen’t know how to talk me💀
That's really sweet! It can be very difficult for older generations to accept inclusivity, they grew up and learned how to survive and get through life in a world with a different narrative than ours. I'm glad your mother is showing some support. My sympathies that communication isn't the easiest between you two, she might not know yet how to talk to you but it seems like she's ready and open to learn.
If you enjoy animation I'd recommend checking out King of The Hill, if you haven't seen it it's an adult animated cartoon that revolves largely around Hank (a very conservative and traditional man) and his relationship with his son Bobby who doesn't fit in to Hank's strict ideals. It's heartwarming to watch them come to an understanding with one another in a realistic way.
awww that’s so cute
Cringe but wholesome
omg she reminds me of my dad
Well, the important thing is that she's trying. Most parents wouldn't.
tomboy x is actually a super transphobic brand fun fact 😭 a friend of mine, (trans ftm) worked for them as a model for a bit. not only did they cast him to model their "women celebration" print but according to him, they reduced his identity to his genitals, constantly misgendered him, and overall made him feel super uncomfortable the whole time. oh and btw, they don't sell binders they sell compression bras which to their credit, work pretty well, but its still false advertising. i cant blame anyone who buys one if they don't have any other options, but if u can pls try not to support this company
Oh wow😕 the brand looked so inclusive. This is definitely why we should research brands before buying
You really thought a brand called TOMBOY wouldn’t be transphobic to trans men???
@@baharalimohammadi6579 well, people can identify as tomboys... the existence of tomboys itself does not invalidate the existence of trans men. same with femboys and trans women.
it only becomes an issue when people view themselves as trans men/women and get reduced to being tomboys/femboys by other people.
@@helyphion tomboys arent an identity..?
Definition:
a girl who enjoys rough, noisy activities traditionally associated with boys.
it is not an identity. Plus, its just the companys name.
@@buffchicken8201 Being a tomboy can be a part of someone's identity. I think what you mean is that it's not a label for a gender identity, which I agree with (unless someone wants to label their gender as that, I guess). Usually someone who identifies as a tomboy still defines their gender identity as female, it's just their gender presentation that's different.
And yes, it's the company's name. But I don't see how having "tomboy" in their name automatically indicates that they're transphobic.
And they always choose the BRIGHTEST F*CKING COLORS. The one I hate the most is Target’s rainbow suit
Ikr, every July I feel like I can only look at pastel pride flags because of how badly my retinas were burned from all the bright colors in company logos 🤢
And the color balance on rainbows is never good. Blues and purples are often too dark and not close enough in hue, which makes red/orange/yellow look cohesive, but blue/purple/green look like they’re not even apart of the same palette. Pastels really are the way to go.
sorry, what? i just bought that one
yeah saturation is off the charts
AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SHORTS AND NEVER A FULL SUIT 😭😭😭😭😭
as a lesbian I can confirm: we never, nor would we ever, ask for that dress

great that target is selling binders. Unfortunately, they partnered up with a transphobic company to do it. For anyone unaware, Tomboyx misgendered one of their models and when said model tried to call them out they blocked and cut contact. GC2B or any other company (just do research on them) works great! 🏳🌈
i actually got my binder from gc2b and it’s really great :D
there’s also several different styles and colors
they have a crap ton of sizes too (and a guide on how to find your size) as well as a q&a section with commonly asked questions and stuff. the binders are kind of expensive though, i got mine for $40 and had to have a friend order it for me ;
Thanks, I'll make sure to check GC2B for my transition!
as a trans person i VERY much appreciate your seething bitterness and flippancy towards this pandering crap, thank u so much for this video
FTM here. I *distinctly* remember being 12 years old and sitting in the car when a radio commercial for a marketing fair came on. The person in the advertisement was urging companies to market to LGBTQ people, saying "they often have disposable income, no children, and have been proven to demonstrate great brand loyalty". This was back in the early 00's. They literally had to BEG companies to market to us, to see us as a demographic, because back then, supporting us meant financial certain death.
Companies exist literally to sell stuff. That is all they do. If they want to treat us like everyone else, finally, then that's progress. It's normalizing. Everyone is all "representation matters" and then when we get recognized, then you're mad about it? Do you want them to just ignore Pride month?
I'm not trying to be mean, but why don't you find a 60 year old gay man who grew up having to hide who he was, who grew up in an era when mocking gay people was acceptable, and ask him how he would have felt if, when he was 20 years old, he was suddenly transported into a Target in the year 2022 and saw that a major store was openly selling Pride stuff. Maybe this tacky Pride shit isn't for us. Maybe it's for the older LGBT people. It's not always about our age group.
@@HarpsiFizz i mean unless you’re projecting and you’re actually the 60yo gay man you don’t need to be white knighting for them lol they can speak for themselves if they care enough to argue about colorful clothes on the internet
Also OP’s comment specifically talked about corporations begging for trans wallets while not actually donating any notable profits to the organizations that will actually make a difference, not whether or not the products should exist in the first place 😚
Yeas !
@Sarang Archer maybe they should have been advocating for themselves more
saaammmeee
Honestly shocked they even included the lesbian flag at all. Usually we don’t exist when it comes to pride inclusion. A win for lesbians, capitalism has our backs too 😍
czcams.com/video/Kw8nI-qO0t8/video.html
FR HELP LMFAO
Aww 😭 I make pride hearts for my friends during pride and even if our group is just three trans gay boys (including me 💀) I always add in the lesbian flag because it’s so pretty and I usually leave it at a random spot in a store for someone to find ❤️
YEA EXACTLY
Either we're included, usually with the lipstick lesbian flag, or we aren't included at all lol
I feel like big companies should stop focusing on “YASSS DLAY HUNTY MAMA YOU ATE THIS UP YASSS SLAYED RAINBOWS GAYYY SLAY GIRL QUEEN” and more on “the numbers of de@d lgbtqia+ people are rising each day 🤭”
I mean, to be fair, that's kindve just how humans work.
I'm not offended that they're trying to profit off us. I'm just offended that the designs are trash 🤣🤣
It honestly makes me mad that Target uses the community lesbian pride flag (the orange and pink one) and keeps all the profits while Emily Gwen, the person who made the design, is living in poverty and has to ask for Ko-fi donations regularly to meet their rent. Not saying Target and other corporations shouldn't use this design, but they should redistribute some of that profit to Emily.
That isn't the only shitty thing to happen regarding pride flags. Just look at the horrible ace flag that WASN'T even designed by ace people. It actively stereotypes us as bland and boring and I will never understand how so many ace people aren't mad about it.
EXACTLY!! They literally cut off the last fucking color too on the pride flag
@@zebraloverbridget wait which one?
@@zebraloverbridget Ace here-i personally really like our flag, but i would like to know your source on the "not made by ace people"?
@@zebraloverbridget huh? im ace myself and idk what you're on about. if you don't like it then it's fine, but if i recall correctly the flag was chosen by the community on the aven forums, where many designs were being proposed by different people, and the current one won. i dont know anything about the person themselves, but it was chosen by the community and is a huge part of it, and our fight for visibility. changing it now that it's starting to be recognized would be stupid. besides, idk why you say it stereotypes us. yes, its not very colorful, but it makes sense with the meanings. the black, grey and white is the whole sexuality spectrum, which is usually depicted with a white to black gradient on an inverse triangle (that we made, i think) and purple for community. its short, simple, and recognizable. besides, many flags on the aspec have been made based off of/inspired by it, sooo... too late? i dont think its lack of color is a huge issue compared to the great impact it has on our community and activism.
I found a gay flag colored penguin in Target once, and then I started laughing so hard that I fell to the ground, nearly seizing.
An employee asked if I was okay, and me, being the gayest fucking man on Earth, grabbed his hand tight and when he pulled me up, I said, "I am now." We are now engaged because of that one moment I started seizing over a green, white and blue penguin.
Wait, the green and blue flag?? That flag never gets included in anything! I’m actually shocked that penguin was just casually sitting there
THE *REAL* GAY FLAG⁉️
This is the best love story
Best love story I’ve heard so far.
This is honestly the most amazing love story I've ever heard, and the fact they used the ACTUAL gay flag?? 🤌
“ And drop it before the metal detector”- Oml I am dying because of this statement!!! 💀💀💀
12:57 the slash obviously
Can we just talk about the fact that target ONLY sells binders during pride month and never any other time of the year...😑 As a genderfluid person who can't always order shit online for fear of my parents finding out about it, it makes me kinda mad
Idk, I was personally pleasantly surprised that a corporation like TARGET was selling binders at all. Sure it would be better if they’d sell them throughout the year, but they’re cheap and from what I’ve heard, effective and so much more accessible than most of the other specialty sites you have to go to
This is the reason I don’t have and bi stuff
I know! I would kinda like to buy one (without my parents’ knowing) but our Target is closed due to a fire we had a while ago and is opening sometime this summer. I’m worried I’m gonna miss the collection bc my store probably won’t open until at least mid summer
Binder advice!
Here’s some ideas for any closeted ftm/ftx as to how to get a binder without your parents figuring out. I’m trans and have a bunch of trans friend for whom I am the “binder fairy” so I’d know lol.
1. Find someone you know is supportive and have them get a binder delivered to their house. You can either pay them upfront w/ cash or they can gift it to you, depending on the person’s generosity.
2. Get a visa gift card, they’re available at Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and most grocery stores. That way you can purchase online w/ out arousing suspicion. That still leaves the question of the delivery address, but if you feel confident in your ability to snag it without parents finding out, could be worth a try.
3. Some organizations like Trevor Project have binder giftings that they do (usually seasonal though). You can create a burner email and enter yourself for the drawings. Same address problem as 2.
GC2B usually has sales going on for pride but as others have mentioned it’s still pretty pricy. I’ve been binding for three years now and they’ve always been my go-to. Last about 6 months at max binding capacity but still are effective after that, just not quite as tight. If you end up getting a binder that you have to hide from your parents, school is a great place to sneak it. If you have a locker you can keep it in, desk, cubby, something that’s easy to access but secure. You can change into it in a restroom in the morning and out at the end of the day, wash it in a sink. Hope any of this helps somebody!
I don't know if it's just in my city but I can't even find the binders on their website anymore...
Just a heads up to anyone who liked the "Busy thinking about girls" shirt, the artist is named Jenifer Prince, and she has a ton of designs that are like that for sale if you wanted to buy from her instead of from Target!
yeah i thought i recognised it - i hope target are actually paying her. companies so often find art online and just shove it on a shirt without permission.
Thanks so much for sharing this info!!
yeah thank you sm for letting us know!
hell yeah buy from the artist
@@lucymariposa we call that art theft and I hate it.
13:28 “What in the substitute art teacher, girl-“ I died laughing 😂😂😂
9:17 I DIED WHEN I REALIZED 💀
say what you will, but honestly, this year's target pride collection is *so* much better than last year's lmfao. but as a lesbian, the lesbian flag dress cracked me tf up
Yes they're improving, which you would think is a good thing but with how many corporations are trying to be sneaky about "supporting" LGBT+, but actually not it is kind of a bad thing. But as they say "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism"
I can't, they didn't even put the whole flag💀
Why does everyone hate that dress I think I would look cute as fuck in it now I'm conflicted😭
I really want the Spanish Pansexual Equality shirt but no. I mustn’t!
My friend bought this cool stonewall candle from there. It had the story written on the label
Me: cringing at how Target is obviously trying to profit of the LGBT community
Also me: wishing they sold bi and ace merch
FR
At my local target I saw a bi finger guns t shirt! Unfortunately I can't find any ace stuff
@@un.ava.ilable the eracesure U__U
They do! I guilty bought a zip wristlet with the ace flag on it from my local Target. (I also saw pan and enby ones at a glance.)
Yeah, it was hard for me to find anything other than gay merch, which is cool, but I can't find much ace things in places like Target. However, I managed to find a small pin and maybe some other things at Spencer's. I feel like some of the other sexualities merch may be found at stores like that or online, while Target may only include the L, G, B, and T flags. I could be wrong though.
i just love that the designers were thinking of what to put on their clothes and when asked “what screams pride?”
they answered “native americans”
well two spirit is a special kind of native american queerness, if i remember right
the reason why your pride merch is acceptable is because it’s something people would ACTUALLY wear…
yeah, and also because it's coming from an actual black gay man who appreciates the money rather than a corporation full of rich, white, straight people
I feel like instead of clothes they should sell pride flags, books, binders, and other important, educational stuff for LGBTQ+ people to have and give all the profits to charities
Edit: i know they already have binders. I saw that, but still wanted to include it in what i think they should have. Didn't know about the pride flags, though
Mhm 💅🏾
id fw the binders omg
That's all fine but I really think they should sell things to cater to the Bears like Leather Harness, Leather crops and leather whips. Yes to that.
@@gumshew2007 im hoping this is a joke goodness gracious 😭😭
They do have flags and they also have plants, candles that smell AMAZING and bags. (theres small and large flags)
I'm just glad they're selling binders and stuff this year. I desperately need one because I can't get one otherwise (although my friend is getting one off Amazon for me and then I'm paying her back)
same omg
Someone in the comments just said they hurt so bad 🤦🏽♂️ target ruins everything! I can link you to one that isn’t gonna hurt if you want
@@strooli_ My friend got a binder from Target yesterday and said he bought the last one they had and I literally almost started crying but then my other friend offered to get me one from Amazon sooooo- haha
@@DeejayCombsGoesLive Yeah, I'd heard something about that, and sure.
@@DeejayCombsGoesLive noo omg D: if you can, yes pls but I doubt I could get it💀💀 tysm tho!
My mom threw away my binder and I could’ve gave someone who needed it instead of wasting it. I’m trans and I get from a nice organization who gives free binders for people in need. I want to cry now.
im so sorry but what is this organization called?
The part where he poured another glass and then drank out of the bottle instead... I felt that.
14:05 “I don’t know what the lesbians want but I feel like it’s not this”
Let me tell you right now that what the lesbians want is that abstract rainbow shirt from 11:05, but as a collared button-down
AGREED.
The fact that there are no collared button downs is a hate crime
hell no that was ugly as shit
@@Hipno702 it feels like its missing flavor like, it tastes fruity but not fruity enough
I APPROVE YES
Disney is apparently doing a Pride collection this year too. They really think some rainbow capitalism is gonna make the gays forget about that Florida mess lmaooo
They really said "don't say gay but please say pay! 🤑"
They cancel owl house and a whole bunch of other shit I don't wanna type, then put out a pride collection? Yeah, that fits for them ugh
The Disney TV account made a post about Lumity too 💀
Its so funny. They'll cancel shows with gay in it but then got behind people with going against the don't say gay bill, but only after people bombarded them asking what they thought
l m f a ooo
I cracked up when I saw a article saying that Disney was having pride merch
I’m actually proud of Target Pride for having a swimsuit that made me feel comfortable in my body and also having it in my size. As a big trans dude I don’t see that a lot. But I still agree not to spend loads of money on corporations just because they find consumer value out of us now
I have the rainbow sandals from Target and they're so slippery and have tried killing me so many times I'm considering it a hate crime.
It's time brethren. The companies are at it again.

“Who’s in-between them and they?”
Everyone knows / is between them and they. This shirt celebrates all of the /‘s out there.
As a / im very glad were being represented/j
What the hell is a forward slash….? I genuinely don’t know and am so curious
what is a / ???
honestly that is a neat text based neo pronoun concept, I've seen some really neat ones in discord groups XD
Generally there are lot of people/pronouns that I'd say could be considered as "in-betweens" since the spectrum isn't linear or 2d - neo pronoun users and gnc individuals come to mind first; those that like it/its or those that like no pronouns at all; agender, neutrois, or off spectrum genders, etc etc. Nonbinary people that aren't like what people stereotypically think of are out there or might not have the words to describe themselves yet or ever maybe.
I use they/them but consider myself more of an "in-between" nonbinary person just cause of how.... like.. fluid or absent my gender can be moment to moment. They/them is alright as a acceptable umbrella pronoun option to get by in this limiting language issue, as there aren't words that accurate describe me or my pronouns, but since English or Japanese doesn't have the words I just settled for they/them. The whole thing is wild to think about personally, but yeh, sorry for rambling XD
@@PETSEMATARYTWO aha oooh.... the slash self thing okay haha
2:15 fully expected the wine glass to shatter at this point
As a lesbian, I love Mac so much, you make me feel so real. Also, your right, we do indeed not want that ugly ankle dress
maybe this is just me, but whenever I see stuff like the ‘queen’ overalls, they always feel more mocking than celebratory to me and I can’t even explain why
what really grinds my gears is that's practically all it had. a tiny little rainbow(s?) and the word queen is not "pride wear". how in the world.. that's not giving any real message, not something you wouldnt see on 'woke' overalls they sell any other month and it's mocking/disappointing imao
it's because it feels like they're stereotyping gay people down to some slangs and mannerisms.
Like, do we say queen? Yes, a lot of us do. But the way they just plastered it on there comes off like some homophobes going "okay, we need to finish this stupid pride collection so we can move on with our lives. These overalls aren't gay enough. What's something that gay people say that we can throw on there to make it gay enough?"
Usually when I see Queen on clothes it's wine mom type stuff, so this made me feel gross
It feels very stereotyped. Also, it makes me cringe to my core because it makes me think of those shirts that say “I’m his queen” or “Mommy’s princess”.
the overall lack of effort and the stereotyping definitely contribute to it, for sure, I don’t know why I couldn’t put my finger on it earlier to be honest
“Let God be true quickly” was such a call back. Every time Mac screamed it in one of his pride videos makes me laugh so hard
I know he said it in a previous video but I forgot which one.
Also when he was looking at that ugly see through bag and was like...
"PUT IT IN A BAG AND DROP IT BEFORE THE METAL DETECTOR!"...Now that's like Part one Anti-gay video!...

Oh and yeah, binders are VERY hard to get. I’m female to non-binary so seeing a binder available like that makes me so excited!
I got mine on gc2b, but they're SO pricey! Had to get my mother to buy me one, and I'd already been out for a while
I found out that tomboyX makes binders and have a couple, their good. Although I think the price has gone up but cheaper than others I've found (just looked and their about $40 not including tax)
I got one for my sibling at ForThem, it's pretty pricey (usually $48 sometimes plus shipping) but you actually measure yourself so they fit all nice and the company is actually founded and run by Trans and Non binary people
I prefer gc2b! I got one in middle school for like 35 dollars? It is VERY pricey but I prefer to use them. I haven’t gotten myself a new one but I should.
@@jaskierdraven9191 I don’t trust tomboyx tbh. I think the name alone shows how little they care about trans people’s safety 😅

@@forgenorman3025 99% sure they didn't no. you don't have to be so violent or whatever, but rather educate them on why the company is bad.
@@mmiaxyz First, I wasn't entirely serious, I know they wouldn't have a case. Second, we're human and sometimes we're not in the mood to educate people, or there could be consequences if they aren't out at work. Third, don't tell us how to deal with queerphobia. You're giving an ignorant and unwanted bit of "advice" that we get all the time. Hush.
@@forgenorman3025 I like how u automatically assume that I'm straight. Jeez. Anyways. I get that you're human, but that doesn't justify being ignorant. You don't fight fire with fire, but rather water. Look at the civil rights movement -- through educating, representation, and peaceful protesting, the rights of African Americans were improved. Second; I think that I have a big enough brain to give advice on how to fight queerphobia. It is an open topic. There are queer folks who are extremely educated, or extremely undereducated. Same with straight people.
I agree that some people might fight being oppressed with anger and violence, and you may think that the "advice" (wasn't intended to be advice but whatever) is somehow ignorant, (don't get why, sounds like you're being the ignorant one here), but you need to put things into consideration. Perhaps people give you this advice with good intentions? Or maybe they genuinely want to help? I don't know.
You seem to have a lot of anger inside of you.
(Edit) You can speak on the matter of the toxicity of Chic Fil A without mentioning the fact that you are apart of the LGBTQ community. Allies exist.
As a lesbian, I can confirm we don’t want that dress. Give us clothes that aren’t limited to stereotypical women’s style (aka dresses).
Or if they do give us a dress, it could at LEAST be cute 😭
A lot of the lesbians I know who enjoy dresses lean more towards cottagecore. They should've just done a normal, frilly dress with the lesbian flag color palette! That would've been a million times cuter.

@@fourthpanda it's because it's so lazy. They literally just cut and pasted the lesbian flag on a dress. And the dark pink is barely there if at all! Also not to generalize, but it doesn't really fit in with the more commonplace sapphic fashion tastes either. And a handful of people here follow the creator of the lesbian flag on twitter, so thinking of how much profit target is going to make while Emily Gwen is struggling to pay the bills & making zero dollars off a corporation just straight up slapping her flag on a dress makes it sting a little more.
But I mean, if you think you can make that gaudy dress look gorgeous on you or even just camp, then absolutely go for it bestie!
14:20 why did I know he was gonna do that
13:54 LMAOOO 😂😭😭
Can’t wait to spend all my money on this collection 😍
Edit: the video has been made
whyyyy
@@vincentbgarcia08 because he sacrificed himself to try on their last pride collection (the one with the rainbow suit)
I can see the "reacting to target pride section remastered" video in the making
Can't wait to watch you spend all your money on this collection 😍
Oml it's fettuccine alfredo!!! 💛💛
the FEAR i get during pride month now is overwhelming. last year i got harassed in a library by an old man waving a bible and a pamphlet in my face, which is just the tip of the iceberg. i live in a small town in the south so almost everyone here is chronically homophobic. i get laughed at in the hallways at school and constantly called slurs. i have no way of showing pride in my town without feeling extremely unsafe. my partner and i couldn’t hold hands at school or in public at all for months. my highschool had a day of silence with GLSEN a while back and we all got harassed the entire day. i couldn’t keep track of the amount of times i got called the f-slur and even the t-slur. things are definitely getting better but we still have such a long way to go. i hate that companies can capitalize on our suffering by throwing rainbows on stuff and making us feel a small amount of safe.
I'm so sorry to hear that friend. I know I can't put up a pride flag or I might get my windows smashed (small town too) but that.....goddamn. I hope someday you manage to get outta that town. I promise, it does get better after you get out of school, and I hope so so much that that terror doesn't stay with you for years to come. Stay strong friend, even if I don't know you personally I'm cheering you on ❤️
Would you rather go back to the days of the companies ignoring us and treating us like everybody in your small town treats us?
@@HarpsiFizz two things can be true at the same time. We can be mad that companies are profiting off of pride whilst not doing any work to make the world a safer place for us AND we can be happy that we have gotten to the point where people are willing to sell pride stuff. We can admire how far we've come and still keep fighting for the future. This is one of those highly nuanced situations
I'm sorry to hear that, dear. May I ask what the “t-slur” is? Apologies, I'm not familiar with it and want to be informed so I can avoid people who use it and stuff ❤️😅 I hope things get better for you and your partner, love! ❤️❤️
@@fnaf_for_life look up slur towards trans people-
“ 🎶 Drop it before the metal detector🎶”, only real fans would know.🤣
There is ONE quote I can think of that can sum up Target’s pride collection. “Putting up a rainbow logo once a year isn’t allyship, IT’S MARKETING.”
The one good thing about being non binary and it not being as widely accepted yet is that around pride time, corporations don't commercialize the shit out of our existence yet lmao
Ah give it time, we'll all be consumed by corporations before the decade is out
Same here for pansexuality and basically all the "+" in lgbtq+. Ig being forgotten came with an advantage :)
Except for that confusing “thems and the theys” tshirt LMAO
I found Non-Binary socks and sunglasses at Target and wanted to buy them so bad 😔
don't let them know... they'll be coming for us soon
The binders are the best part imo and I like how they're selling them as "compression bras" too so if you're still in the closet you may be able to get a binder without having to explain that it is something other than a bra.
The brand markets them as compression bras, its not a target thing. The brand is also problematic, but I suppose at least there's an option now
Agreed
They're compression bras because they don't actually bind anything. I still support them being sold obviously, but I wish they weren't spread around as being binders. I wear one personally, but it's more of an alternative for days I can't wear my actual binder.
They don't bind, they're just a sports bra. And the brand is also incredibly transphobic.
It just makes me feel weird that it has tomboys on it instead of trans people, but I understand that it can expose people's identities
"just put it in a bag"
*A bit of dancing later*
"And drop it before the metal detector"
Legendary reference
2:02 ight I love doja cat and Nintenhoe so like yes
Why is the statement "ugly for a good cause" so accurate to any sort of charity/nonprofit partnership or pride collection?
I came out to my mom recently (sort of. She literally just said that it was extremely obvious) and she is supportive in the funniest way ever. Like she will randomly ask if she can buy me pride flag things (shoes, etc) and it's really sweet
My mother said “you sure” girl I walked out
I've come out to my mother 3 times and she forgets and acts shocked each time. I dont even know what to do anymore about it lol
@@arny625 I don't even know what gave it away for me. We were driving somewhere and she said that it was very obvious that I liked girls and that I may as well confirm it 💀
@@caroowns That's kinda sweet 😭
I literally just walked into the kitchen one day and said “I joined my schools gay club because women are hot.” And my mother just looked at me and went: “Eh. You’re too young, this’ll blow over.” Three years later I’m not even a girl anymore.💀
I bought the shirt at 11:06. Honestly I really like it. They had a button down version of it if I remember correctly but in a different color.
I've never watched you before but I'm living for this energy & chaos. Subbed!!💅🏻
Here's the thing: corporations that "donate" then use that donation as a tax write off. So Target will make any money donated back in the form of tax deductions. Same thing goes for those "would you like to round up to donate to x charity" that you see at check out. If you like the item, get it, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism anyway. BUT if you want to support the charities the item is "supporting," you have a MUCH better impact just donating to the organization yourself. And as a bonus, you now get the tax write off!
And that's not getting into the charities which are more like money laundering schemes than actual businesses.
Depressing af.
Im glad we got more accessible binders, even if the brand apparently has had some issues
Yea supposedly they hurt like a motherfucker.
yeah I secretly bought one last week and while it's probably not the best option out there it's so much safer and more comfortable than my homemade one so I'll take what I can get lmao
As long as the issues aren’t safety related, that’s so big.
When I came out every single binding tutorial begged people to not use ace bandages, and the only binders you could find were stiff uncomfortable things from underworks that cost a fortune and took weeks to ship. I haven’t heard of anyone using ace bandages in years and to be able to go to a regular store like target and buy a chest compressor, I can’t even describe how hopeful that makes me feel for the trans youth of today. We’ve really come so far!
@@AwsomenessRain yup, even when I came out only round 4 years ago? Most binding tips were just please don't use ace bandages and please make sure any homemade binder you make is safe. It's really nice to see how things have changed, even if in Canada we don't have targets and binders are still kinda hard to get around here, I'm glad others have binders accessible
What are the issues?
omg i love the gay bags "drop it before the metal detector" reference from one of the reacting to anti-gay commercial videos! (pls tell me i'm not the only one who got that reference >_
I'm so glad I found this channel, your takes are hilarious! I was also excited when I saw that they were selling Binders, I was way to nervous to but down 60 to 70 bucks on ordering one that may not have fit, but being able to try then on before buying and it only being 30 was very helpful as a starter binder.
The binders make me so happy, cause it allows trans people in closeted/dangerous situations to actually get binders! Instead of leaving a paper trail of using a credit card to buy one online just for it to come in the mail and have to stress about the packaging being discrete or their parents opening it and finding out, they can instead buy that shit at target in cash and hide it away
More of that! *more of that!*
Those aren't actually binders though, they're compression sports bras which are already a thing you can get in person. And target actually has other sports bras that work much better for flattening your chest than the TOMBOYX ones. Also TOMBOYX is a highly transphobic company making clothing for the "uwu girl power tomboy who hates being fem" crowd falsely parading themselves as trans inclusive. They constantly misgendered and harassed ftm trans models, reduced them down to their agab, tried to make one model a "women celebration" print and used terfy imagery in their women celebration collection ads.
I can't even say shit, I saw the "Busy thinking about girls" shirt and immediately bought it. So...I'm the problem. My bad y'all.
literally same and the sappho mug too
I would buy so much of this and not even feel guilty about it. I'm definitely the problem.
I'm gonna get it as well, its too real
It's a nice shirt but just know that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism so you should do whatever feels right for you. As Miss Whitney Houston says, 'It's not right, but it's okay.'
The artist they contracted with for that shirt is named Jenifer Prince, and she has a ton of designs like that one for sale! So you could buy directly from her if you wanted to!
Lmfaoooo I LOVE How he just Had to get wine before starting. 🤣💀
I just love the absolute chaos in this video!
I wish target would’ve made a “disabled and queer” line, bc there are a lot of us out there actually (I’m Bi and disabled btw!) ✌🏻
I don't want target pandering to me TWO months in a row though, I'd DIE /hyp
Ooh nooo XD noooi that's true
Then again, I would love to be seen, but, not like that 😭
@@nicomoist5336 wish my obscene American medical bills came with free pride merch at least, though
@@adrienneczerni6516 SAME, being disabled/chronically ill is expensive as fuck (idk if chronic illnesses are considered disabilities bc i have chronic lyme and apparently my state doesnt consider it to be a disability even though in my experience its been pretty crippling)
@@saltdad5263 ugh, government recognition of disability is the same gatekeepy oppressive bullshit as the gross "blood quantum" stuff they've used to disenfranchise our First Peoples. If it changes how you fundamentally live/eat/think/see/hear/move, it's a disability, even if stingy uncle Sam is in denial about extending decency for that
it makes me so happy to see them selling binders now. makes me hopeful that more trans people won’t have to experience shopping for a sports bra 2 sizes too tight that could end up causing rib damage later down the line.
And, hopefully they have a sizing chart online and in store so first time buyers aren't getting the wrong size.
Because that can also do some serious harm, especially if you don't know how a binder should fit.
Now if only companies would stop claiming to be inclusive while actively leaving out smaller sizes. At this point I'll end up able to get a reduction done way before they make binders that fit me. (Non binary so I don't want a complete removal of breast tissue. just want 80-90% gone)
It’s the only way I can get a binder so I’m excited about it
yeah my homemade one messed up my breathing for over a month so I'm really glad I dont have to use it anymore
i really hope the binders are actually safe and manufactured to not hurt you. unlike every single amazon binder ever (i know from experience)
They went from selling binders last year to selling “live laugh lesbian” shirts lol
I’m going to be honest, I would rather be called a slur than buy any of those and get called “Handsome boy UwU🤪🤪🤪🤪🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺”
Torrid already has their Pride collection out, and honestly it's kinda cute. I prefer Torrid and Hot Topic's allyship over Target because while yes, they are both still corporations, Torrid and HT's support isn't limited to just one month, it's year-round. They don't have their Pride collection available for "a limited time" and then take it down when it's "over", they have it available all year and still have it set up that a portion of the money they get from the items goes to LGBT+ organizations. Plus Torrid and Hot Topic do more for support by actually hiring LGBT+ folx, and offering them benefits if they become full-time employees... unlike Target that don't do that, or even go out of their way to protect the rights of the one or two LGBT+ employees they may have hired by accident because they operate on the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" model, because the store's management is completely indifferent to their employees needs (unless it's a member of management or one of management's "favorites" that is dealing with the _"injustice"_ ) . At least that's how the Target my youngest brother works at operates, and I can't imagine the others being any different.
Torrid's collection is fine but still much in vein with the generic so I still side eye em
@@Holy_Roomba just in general torrid had gone very disappointingly bland. Like if I wanted to shop Woman Within I would, I don't need Woman Within version Millenial.
@@frostfang1 hey, I will not stand for this Woman Within slander.
They may make clothing that screams "middle aged white mom," but at least their pants actually have good pockets and fit plus sized women lmao.
@@LilChuunosuke true. Still shop there. Just super disappointed with the selection compared to what it was or what it could be.
@@frostfang1 ngl I only buy their pants and nothing else LMAO.
Their shirts look like something my mom would wear to a family dinner, but their pants fit my big fat asscheeks more comfortably than any other brand I've tried lol.
13:43 it’s the fact that it’s missing a stripe for me
(But seriously how do all of these corporations mess up flags? It’s LITERALLY JUST STRIPES! I saw a pride pillow in meijer the other day that didn’t even have the color red?!)
It hurts my eyes cuz you could tell it doesn't even *look* right
Mac:”QUEEN”

2:02 *Mac does the happiest little gay dance*
as an average binder enjoyer I'd also like to point out that it's nice the binder doesn't have any rainbow colors and it's just you know, a subtle normal color that we transmascs usually wear (altho I would say to skip the target binder if you got other alternatives, the quality or the compression doesn't seem great just based on the picture)
TomboyX sells it as a "compression top" - I think it's supposed to be gentle binding not heavy duty.
@@TheDorkEvilOne Yep, explicitly binding for all the time use. You can even sleep in it.
@@fourthpanda ehhhhhh better to play it safe. I’ve heard too many horror stories of binding gone wrong, any garment that binds the chest should be worn with caution.
@@thedestroyasystem Idk about y'all, I'm transfem so obv won't ever need it, but personally I would just trust what they say on their site. They have done lots of testing. As long as y'all get the right size I would trust it not to be a problem.
@@thedestroyasystem Nah I wear one. It is basically a glorified sports bra tbh. Personally I wouldn't wear anything to bed but it would probably be safe.
Mac: *tries to read igualidad*
Me, a native Spanish speaker: *forgets Spanish* wtf does that say???
Mac: *looks it up* OH ITS SPANISH

That was good for me😅💀
The font got me confused, but I loved the immediate confusion and self-awareness Mac had afsjaj
Came here from the pod. Mike definitely had a great idea here. Love the chaotic energy (in the little doses that don't forever fry my brain).
I just realized I be watching your videos and grinning the entire time. You are so entertaining and relatable as I am also chaotic
I’m really glad you touched on the point about HOW they’re donating to these organizations. I’d be much more implored to buy from “supportive” corporations if they were more up front about how they’re donating!!
allegedly XD
I actually, legitimately, want a Trixie and Katya shirt like dead ass
Me to bitch, me to
ME TOO
Sameer
11:05 I remember seeing someone with this shirt once, I noticed the pride patterns and wondered if it was a coincidence or not lol
I actually cried when I saw the two spirit shirt. It made me so happy to finally see something for me.
It’s good that compression tops are being made more available to those who can’t easily order stuff online (no debit card, parents monitor purchases), but TomboyX has a history of mistreating their trans models, one of them they misgendered throughout the entirety of his photoshoot 🥴
That is so wildly ironic, like how do they have a brand widely used by trans ppl but are transphobic. They shouldnt be regardless of who they sell to but like.......come onnnnn
Big yikers of Target for teaming up with a company that did that
My favorite: 9:25
"And drop it before the metal detector!" I love all the references too "reacting too anti gay bc I'm gay"
mac still has me pissing my pants like 10 years later, we live. i’ve never seen a person more deserving of a long and fruitful career
im super sick (as in *cough cough*) and i wasnt in a good mood until i saw this video. i also thought it was a good idea to drink water during this video… i chocked on it so many times i cant count 😭 u make my day SO much better ❤️
it’s so kind and thoughtful of these corporations to create bags that are clearly marked for us to put our gay in before any metal detectors… brings a tear to my eye 🥺
