11:44 "Your Adams apple can be seen from a mile away" So? So could my Mom and sisters! Having a visible hyoid bone and larynx is not a man thing xD The Biology understanders don't understand biology xDDD
And a lot of cis men don’t have a visible Adam’s apple. It’s almost like it such an unimportant thing they never actually notice that it’s not how they’ve always assumed it is because of what we were told as kids.
If anyone ever asks you "are you a boy or a girl" the easiest response is "I don't know, are you a Pokemon Professor? They are the ones who usually ask this question."
Personally I think the best response is to point up at the sky and state in a really monotone voice "I am from the planet Venus. You must listen to me, do not board this boat." And then if they have any follow questions start obliquely referring to some sort of imminent disaster on Mt. Aso but don't elaborate until it's already happened.
Sometimes the question is made with good intentions. If I meet a non-binary person who isn't clearly in one side of the dichotomy, as a Spanish-speaker (Spanish is a strongly gendered language), I might need the orientation just in order to speak to that person correctly (and respectfully). I usually ask people for their names and that solves the problem - but, if the name isn't clear enough, I might need to ask directly. The Chinese language has no genders. I always remember that when I watch Westerners' issues with pronouns 😉
I was laughing at the "Good girl" scene, which was perfect. And then came "I have curvature" - I nearly died, I couldn't breathe from laughing. Awesome way to deal with people with their head up their arse.
As a Southern Californian, “dude” is a gender neutral word, as is “bro” and sometimes “man” though the last is obviously contextual (mainly when used as a greeting or expletive). Language and labels are weird, in that words so often have different connotations depending on context and the speaker originates from. I think it’s very important, then, for speakers to be more clear about their tone and intent with what they say and for listeners to be more cognizant of the speakers intent. There’s really no blanket solution to this communication problem, even 100% gender-neutral language can become offensive if the speaker is using it for ill intent or if the listener is dead set on being offended.
Agreed, "Dudette" has alwalys felt awkward and forced. And I agree about gender and language being flexible. I do acknowledge that the male-centric nature of Enlgish has sort of forced the masculine forms to be the baseline for the gender neutralness, but that's just the way it is. But it's not the only thing, and some things have changed a bit. Like "hanging out with the boys/girls" sometimes is used when one gender is dominante, even if non-binary or opposite gender people are present. I've been part of a "girl's night" as a guy and seen a guy referred to as "one of the ladies" brush it off when someone tried to correct "and gentleman" because they didn't need to be singularly identified. Generalizations are simpler and many times sound better than using "people" or "persons" instead because it doesn't sound as personable.
I remember hearing "dudette" a little in the 90's but that crashed and burned hard, and for the overwhelming majority of my life dude has always been gender neutral, and "man" as well but only as an exclamation, not as a direct identifier. I've never heard "bro" casually used as a gender neutral thing before. I actually had a kind of funny experience when visiting my sister one time with this. She called me "dude" and then immediately backpedaled and was all apologies and the like, and I was incredibly confused because I didn't understand what happened, like I thought I did something wrong? It took a minute before I understood that she was under the impression that she misgendered me... and then proceeded to explain that it's the, uh... l-local custom... of Chicago... to use "dude" in a gender neutral way. Like, yeah man, just you Chicagonauts up there in your glass dome with your completely contained cultural anomaly that has never branched out to any other part of the world. Keep Chicago weird. The weather changes every five minutes. Our local pizza joint is the best in the world. Blah blah blah. idunno I just thought it was so funny and weird. I've never seen any trans women either that I know personally or otherwise actually find being called "dude" to be misgendering. That said, there's a real simple way to find out: they'll tell you. All you gotta do, then, is to apologize, and don't do it again. It's not super complicated. Personally I don't care, of course. Unlike if someone calls me a good girl, I'm definitely not okay with that!
And then, depending upon what language you do speak, being gender neutral may be very cumbersome if not simply impossible. As a native French speaker, I have first hand experience of a language that is heavily gendered. Pretty much all object nouns are masculine or feminine, and that don't mean that female names are for women only. For example, moustache is a feminine word and sein (French for breast) and vagin (vagina) are masculine words.
@@princessmaly Outside of intent, I've only seen people freak out who would freak out about anything. Reluctantly using the term "Karen". But someone who would flip out over a restaurant being out of ketchup, or being asked to move lines in a grocery store, etc. Someone who is actively looking for any precieved slight to get enraged about. "Normal" people, could care less.
@@Kualinar Can we take a moment and talk about names too? Like Michel, is masculine, but prounounced in the feminine according to English. lol. If anything, this just proved gender is just a cultural construct and has no actual meaning when it comes to people being themselves.

I will admit, watching Planarwalk become more and more feminine over time has been a bit trippy for me. I'm not sure how I feel but I know for sure its none of my business. Still watching the videos...
3:00 I would just ask people individually if they're okay with it on a case by case basis. As a trans woman, I don't mind it and I use dude and man in a gender neutral way myself, but I mostly just avoid doing that around other trans women because they may be sensitive to it even if I don't care.
same boat here, as an enby. its always been used in a gender neutral fashion with my family since i was a kid, and ive carried it into adult life. but i understand how it could affect transwomen so
I was always under the impression that "guys" (I'm not a native english speaker) refers to males. Then I noticed it being used for women as well. However, to call anybody "dude" I would probably have to be rather close to that person. So I would not use it on strangers anyway - unless I get the feeling they are let's say "untroubled by such details". Like maybe in your case ;)
As I tell most people, it's all about intent. Using terms like "dude" and "guys" I've done all my life in a gender neutral way. My partners are both transwomen and I try to be sensitive to them (being a transman myself, I get it), and I'll slip and say "you guys" at times and correct to "you girls", they both tend to laugh because they know I'm not actually refering to them as men and could care less beacuse they know I love and respect them (and have been the one trying to help them feel confident in their transitions). However, another person we know who doesn't approve has used that same phrase and it wasn't okay, because we knew they weren't accepting and were coming from bad intentions.
I don't talk to people if I don't like them, why bother? So if I do like someone enough to talk with them, I assume it'll show. So I don't worry about words.
It always makes me laugh when they mix up "basic as in entry-level simplified information" with "basic as in fundational". It just shows their level of understanding, or lack thereof. 🤣
I’ve been waiting for you to post another video on trans gender to say this. My hubby, who is 70 years old, was talking to me about a silly flat earther when he glanced over my shoulder at my screen to see you paused and asked me, “Is she a flat earth debunker?” 🎉❤
You're awesome! I love when you, Emma, and Creacky do your comments videos. Such a wide variety of off topic reactions based solely on appearances. Hugs to all three of you (forward theirs along, please).
i find it funny how the guy calling you "not a real trans girl" and saying that transgender stuff isnt scientific had the name "what day is it? Trump day" love your vids and your attitude towards this whole debacle, its very human and yet still rational ^^ also, how dare you call me a good girl 3:< grrrr
Concerning plushies: I just bought a plush rocket from ULA and I really like it. It found a nice spot near my plush Rosetta comet lander. BTW: I'm 53 and I have about 10 plushies in my flat.
I don't care if people change their sex just like I don't care if they wipe sitting or standing. Doesn't effect me in any way whatsoever. You do you, and I hope it all works out. Why people care will always confuse me.
One of the things I like best about your channel is the way you stand up for transgenderism in a way that is reasonable, instructive, good-humoured, and even inspirational. I'm not trans myself, but I do firmly believe that "trans rights" are simply human rights, and therefore attacks on "trans rights" are attacks on human rights, including my own. (Scare quotes around "trans rights" just to emphasize that they're not a separate thing, they're identical to human rights.) Anyway, keep up the good work, you're an asset to the human race.
3:30 I'd agree that it's a good attitude to try to understand, but I'd also add, there's usually a limit to how much you can ever understand a fundamental difference in someone else's experience. You don't have to understand a lot to take someone else's word for their lived experience, and I see a lot of people go astray by trying to treat it like a puzzle they need to solve for themselves. It really is genuinely the best attitude to just be humble enough to think you might not ever get it, and default to letting others live the lives they want
I was really surprised and happy to be mentioned in your video. My reaction to you saying “good girl” made me pencil in a question mark behind my gender, though. Some of that gender fluid might have spilled. Keep on rocking, your glow-up is a joy to watch!
12:08 ... Ohhh, that one takes the piss not just in the fact it has no clue that the "trasmovement" is no more of a movement than the "left handed movement" when being left handed was no longer looked at as a disability, people being out as trans doesn't mean that there are more trans people, they existed long before and they will exist long after the only change is that they don't feel that being in hiding is the right thing any more. But it also take a jab at autism having no bloody clue the first thing about autism and is using it as an insult like people calling things "gay" in the 90s. Like b&&&ch, sure I may be a trans woman who also happens to have ASD but you know what? It went undiagnosed for 37 years because I was extremely good at masking and the only reason it got noticed was because of my mind going into "people pleaser" mode after someone attempted to kill me for simply being trans and so decided to try to take an extended nap because "well if you want me dead let me help you out with that" when that happened 3 entirely separate medical professionals who were not aware of the other two medical professionals all came to the conclusion that I have been living my entire life with undiagnosed autism. There is nothing wrong with having autism and much like being right wing in modern climate where if you are right wing people are going to assume you are part of the transphobic Nazis who want all people who don't have blonde hair and blue eyes executed for being different because of self sense of superiority complex, where as in reality that only makes up a small percentage of the right wing but the extremes are so much easier to notice, the same thing applies to autism where people are going to assume the extreme cases where their stimming they need to do is so extreme it makes other people around them feel very uncomfortable where as in reality that is actually a minority of cases because most autistic people are good at hiding their stimming and good at masking to where the only thing people "notice" is thinking the person is lazy when they are not. Plus that next line of "anti-social", again just because I have autism doesn't make me anti-social, sure a majority of my friends from high school all told me that they thought I hated them at first until they learned that that is just me but I was never anti-social, I just came off anti social because of not knowing how to interact with people but that is very different. Yeah yeah all the hate ones are annoying, but trying to use autism as an insult when a hell of a lot more people have autism than they realize because it is a spectrum and not just black or white that one is just annoying in a "I am not annoyed by how stupid you are trying to use something as an insult which is not an insult, but rather annoyed in how anyone can be so slow in understanding that extremes are often the minority that they have to use something as an attack just for being different.
Very good video, I must admit that I adore seeing people respond to transphobes. It’s just fun seeing the angry transphobes then the trans people just kinda going “oh look another one. I also love that you always add positive comments too, does really help remind everyone that it isn’t all hate
Planar, I started watching your channel for the flat earth debunking ( which you are quite proficient at ), and I also enjoy your trans content. I am 60, and agree with you regarding being too old for stuff. I try to surround myself with people who still have their childlike awe and innocence about them. It just makes life more fun. Keep up the good work. ❤️🙏
I was talking about how great you look during my art stream today! My wife is a trans woman. She’s almost completely blind now and wishes she could do her makeup. I do hers when I have time, and yours is so spot on! You look great!
It’s gotten SOOO bad online recently…much love to you PW! Always enjoy your content so thank you for continuing to bring small bits of joy to the day ☝️😊
Some years ago there was a sitcom on the BBC based round a character, Alf Garnett, who was a complete right wing bigot. The comedy came from him being surrounded by all those he was bigoted against and losing every battle he ever fought. In one episode, his gay black lodger claimed that aliens would think black people were the superior beings because they did so well in the Olympics. Alf countered with that being a benefit from being taken to the US as slaves. The joke being the fact it was such an outrageous statement. Recently, I hear DeSantis saying how many ex slaves benefited from their slavery by having learned skills they could put into practice as free people. Same thing but one as satire and one said seriously.
I was born and grew up in the pre trans generation. The concept didn't exist. The use of the word didn't exist. But I was brought up to respect diverse personalities and self determinism. So for me, trans is no more unusual than someone who has a favourite colour. It's just another part of the humanity, we all share.

Thank you Planar for all your work, but thank you for being one of the many reasons I've learned about my egg self. As for hydrating, I've been a good girl, grabbed my water and had a sip! 🥰 Stay Hydrated!
I Never comment, but I watch every one of your videos. I am a CIS male, and for the longest time (years ago when I first heard about people that were trans) it was hard for me to understand what being trans was. I am so glad I can now say that honestly these are my favorite videos you do. You just get to be you, and it comes through so clear that you are so much more comfortable, now that you can be you.
You have ZERO obligation to respond to any of my comments. And even if you do or did I might even miss it. However I always assume you at least read my comments and that is good enough for me. I have been subbed to you pretty much since day one and observing your channel grow gives me some kind of hope for humanity.💙
Planarwalk, I love you. Not like in the creepy stalker way, but in the "people aren't all the same but we're all human, and pseudoscience is bullshit" way. You're beautiful. Never stop being you.
"You're too old for X" is one of my pet hates. An ex once yelled at me for "being childish". What did I do? Well, I went out for some drinks with my fellow teachers and got very drunk. "Childish". Uh huh. Some people just think fun = childish, and they probably overlap quite a lot with the people who think (only) women can only be miserable.
As a cis-male, I identified with the comment about not understanding trans. It exists, I know it does, but I don’t personally know anyone who identifies as transgender. However, I’m not scared to acknowledge that just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean that thing is wrong or evil. It just means I have more to learn about it. The biggest hurdle I have gotten over is sex =/= gender. XY can’t magically become XX, so if you can’t change sex, how can you change gender? Learning that I was conflating two distinct and separate terms was a game changer.
Mate,iv watched you for about a year now and let me tell you,you are an inspiration to me and lots of others and cute too ! Keep on what your doing and turn all the negativity into positivity ❤
A) Our New Zealand accents are amazing 🥰 B) Make more of an effort to pass??? What a crock of sh*t. Not all cis women wear tons of heavy makeup or wear heavily feminine clothing etc, so why should trans women have to make more 'effort' to pass anyways? They do what's right for their own journey.
I think you are amazing. I love your content and how you approach it. I admire your courage to openly express yourself on CZcams, and not hide who you are. You shouldn't have to, anyway.
I internalised a ton of stuff about passing when I was early on transitioning, it’s rough on people. It’s very rewarding to pass but it’s not nice to hold it against people if they can’t or don’t want to
CHAIR That section pleased me, mostly because of your feeling embarrassed afterwords. I love humanizing moments. Not that you lack for them, but it never hurts. Also it makes me smile every time you say good girl because I like hearing that.
I recall "back in the day'" I noticed Planer wearing nail polish. At first I was like "maybe he is in a rock band" [yes, I assumed gender], but then I was like wanting to ask where they got the color. Granted I identify as a cis white male none of that even mattered to me as far as content, nor do I have any place to judge anyone else based on any of that. My world view overall lines up perfectly with Planerwalk regardless which is why I am subbed and will always remain so.
@10:51, I'm 54 and play palworld, tell me I'm too old. .... Ooo, Planars got a nerf ... Arghhh My eye !! 🤣 I've used "dude" for male and female, I would try to be careful around Trans people though, but I make mistakes but wouldn't be malicious. Why can't ppl just be happy? If you're a woman, a man, Trans, whatever as long as you're happy that is what is important. Nice video btw, you made this old cis fart laugh out loud 👍
To the commenter who said the Demon Emotional Support plushie made you trans, i say HEY, let's leave Baphy outta this! he's just a sweet lil guy doin' his best. 10:52 you mised. BTW i absolutely agree with your take on the "You're too old/(whatever) for _______ x" I am almost 50, and i still play with Transformers, and i've been recently looking at getting back into Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. (because we sell them at work. shhhh ;) ) Also, everytime i see Baphy featured in your videos. (not really "featured" so much as chillin in the background) i get really happy, and then am reminded I need to check on the one i gave my nephew for Christmas.
9:52 I also love that guy's Lieutenant Gruber picture. I tried to re-watch 'Allo! 'Allo! recently and it didn't tickle me the same way it did when I discovered it years ago. Still solid, but I found it difficult to binge.
I planned on leaving a comment anyway so here is what I’d like to say. As a Pansexual I find you very attractive. Love all your content and I hope you don’t stop producing it.
I'm a 42yr old cis male and currently have above my desk...a monokuma plush, spiderman plush, a sloth plush and a blue dinosaur plush. Plushes are for everyone!
"Why did I do that?" It was funny. EDIT to add: Cis het male with plushies. They are adorable. I have a Grumpy Bear with epic side-eye. A Tux (Linux) penguin, and a Kurt Vonnegut, to name a few.
"There's nothing scientific about the trans movement." ....I know that this sort of ass-backwards 'reasoning' isn't exclusive to the flat earth nuttery, but I still find it surprising whenever I see it crop up elsewhere. Although, it does help show which people live almost exclusively within echo-chambers, so I suppose there's something of a silver lining to it.
I tell people that I love women so much that I decided to be one. Truth is I was always a woman, I just didn't know it yet. Glad that you're living your life your way instead of trying to please people. Transphobes would be much happier if they just used their energy to improve themselves instead of trying to put others down.
Anyone criticizing the "emotional support" plushies probably has some pet(s), sappy decorations, and/or religious beliefs/practices that are equally for emotional support. It's just classic projection combined with desperately or lazily searching for anything to attack.
I lived 34 years thinking I was an odd autistic man. And now my favorite thing is when more transitioned girls call me a "good girl". Fucking HRT! I love it so much!
I would love to have a giant Blåhaj, but my bed isn't big enough. The other side of the bed is already occupied by other plushies (including a small Blåhaj ) and I need some place to sleep.
Can we get a longer loop of your dance at 1:44? I mean, not too long, but.. longer. Reasons. >_> (It gave me a really good laugh!) I really love your videos and commentary, you're a great host and someone I can listen too for both facts and fun. Keep up the great work. =)

As a Southern Californian, “dude” is a gender neutral word, as is “bro” and sometimes “man” though the last is obviously contextual (mainly when used as a greeting or expletive). Language and labels are weird, in that words so often have different connotations depending on context and the speaker originates from. I think it’s very important, then, for speakers to be more clear about their tone and intent with what they say and for listeners to be more cognizant of the speakers intent.

3:00 I would just ask people individually if they're okay with it on a case by case basis. As a trans woman, I don't mind it and I use dude and man in a gender neutral way myself, but I mostly just avoid doing that around other trans women because they may be sensitive to it even if I don't care.
same boat here, as an enby. its always been used in a gender neutral fashion with my family since i was a kid, and ive carried it into adult life. but i understand how it could affect transwomen so
I was always under the impression that "guys" (I'm not a native english speaker) refers to males. Then I noticed it being used for women as well. However, to call anybody "dude" I would probably have to be rather close to that person. So I would not use it on strangers anyway - unless I get the feeling they are let's say "untroubled by such details". Like maybe in your case ;)
As I tell most people, it's all about intent. Using terms like "dude" and "guys" I've done all my life in a gender neutral way. My partners are both transwomen and I try to be sensitive to them (being a transman myself, I get it), and I'll slip and say "you guys" at times and correct to "you girls", they both tend to laugh because they know I'm not actually refering to them as men and could care less beacuse they know I love and respect them (and have been the one trying to help them feel confident in their transitions). However, another person we know who doesn't approve has used that same phrase and it wasn't okay, because we knew they weren't accepting and were coming from bad intentions.
I don't talk to people if I don't like them, why bother?
So if I do like someone enough to talk with them, I assume it'll show.
So I don't worry about words.
13:37 maybe they’re the sort of people who say “it’s basic biology” but my siblings in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Biology *isn’t* basic AT ALL.
... so there's what they'll tell you in grade 6, and, as usual, that's a simplification because biology is *never **_that_** simple!*
It always makes me laugh when they mix up "basic as in entry-level simplified information" with "basic as in fundational". It just shows their level of understanding, or lack thereof. 🤣
"I said a group of people must all be miserable in a public space and they got mad!"
Truly a revulotionary development.
I’ve been waiting for you to post another video on trans gender to say this. My hubby, who is 70 years old, was talking to me about a silly flat earther when he glanced over my shoulder at my screen to see you paused and asked me, “Is she a flat earth debunker?” 🎉❤
You're awesome! I love when you, Emma, and Creacky do your comments videos. Such a wide variety of off topic reactions based solely on appearances. Hugs to all three of you (forward theirs along, please).
i find it funny how the guy calling you "not a real trans girl" and saying that transgender stuff isnt scientific had the name "what day is it? Trump day"
love your vids and your attitude towards this whole debacle, its very human and yet still rational ^^
also, how dare you call me a good girl 3:< grrrr
I very much enjoyed the gremlin chair dance, and the Careless Whisper kazoo
Concerning plushies: I just bought a plush rocket from ULA and I really like it. It found a nice spot near my plush Rosetta comet lander. BTW: I'm 53 and I have about 10 plushies in my flat.
I don't care if people change their sex just like I don't care if they wipe sitting or standing. Doesn't effect me in any way whatsoever. You do you, and I hope it all works out. Why people care will always confuse me.
What kinda psychopath stands up to wipe they're arse?..
@@NevilleBamshu23 what kind of psychopath cares?
@@nunya_bizniz i agree..
New life goal:
Having Planarwalk tell me good girl!
One of the things I like best about your channel is the way you stand up for transgenderism in a way that is reasonable, instructive, good-humoured, and even inspirational. I'm not trans myself, but I do firmly believe that "trans rights" are simply human rights, and therefore attacks on "trans rights" are attacks on human rights, including my own. (Scare quotes around "trans rights" just to emphasize that they're not a separate thing, they're identical to human rights.) Anyway, keep up the good work, you're an asset to the human race.
On the plushies: you are never old to have fun! If it brings you joy, and harms no one, more more more
As a newly out trans woman that isn't even close to passing, I feel this video.
Fuck ‘em, figuratively, not literally, obviously.
You do you, girl. Ignore the ones who aren’t you.
3:30 I'd agree that it's a good attitude to try to understand, but I'd also add, there's usually a limit to how much you can ever understand a fundamental difference in someone else's experience. You don't have to understand a lot to take someone else's word for their lived experience, and I see a lot of people go astray by trying to treat it like a puzzle they need to solve for themselves. It really is genuinely the best attitude to just be humble enough to think you might not ever get it, and default to letting others live the lives they want
I was really surprised and happy to be mentioned in your video. My reaction to you saying “good girl” made me pencil in a question mark behind my gender, though. Some of that gender fluid might have spilled. Keep on rocking, your glow-up is a joy to watch!
Every time someone calls me a good girl, I have an uncontrollable urge to blush. Thanks for that xD
12:08 ... Ohhh, that one takes the piss not just in the fact it has no clue that the "trasmovement" is no more of a movement than the "left handed movement" when being left handed was no longer looked at as a disability, people being out as trans doesn't mean that there are more trans people, they existed long before and they will exist long after the only change is that they don't feel that being in hiding is the right thing any more. But it also take a jab at autism having no bloody clue the first thing about autism and is using it as an insult like people calling things "gay" in the 90s. Like b&&&ch, sure I may be a trans woman who also happens to have ASD but you know what? It went undiagnosed for 37 years because I was extremely good at masking and the only reason it got noticed was because of my mind going into "people pleaser" mode after someone attempted to kill me for simply being trans and so decided to try to take an extended nap because "well if you want me dead let me help you out with that" when that happened 3 entirely separate medical professionals who were not aware of the other two medical professionals all came to the conclusion that I have been living my entire life with undiagnosed autism. There is nothing wrong with having autism and much like being right wing in modern climate where if you are right wing people are going to assume you are part of the transphobic Nazis who want all people who don't have blonde hair and blue eyes executed for being different because of self sense of superiority complex, where as in reality that only makes up a small percentage of the right wing but the extremes are so much easier to notice, the same thing applies to autism where people are going to assume the extreme cases where their stimming they need to do is so extreme it makes other people around them feel very uncomfortable where as in reality that is actually a minority of cases because most autistic people are good at hiding their stimming and good at masking to where the only thing people "notice" is thinking the person is lazy when they are not. Plus that next line of "anti-social", again just because I have autism doesn't make me anti-social, sure a majority of my friends from high school all told me that they thought I hated them at first until they learned that that is just me but I was never anti-social, I just came off anti social because of not knowing how to interact with people but that is very different.
Yeah yeah all the hate ones are annoying, but trying to use autism as an insult when a hell of a lot more people have autism than they realize because it is a spectrum and not just black or white that one is just annoying in a "I am not annoyed by how stupid you are trying to use something as an insult which is not an insult, but rather annoyed in how anyone can be so slow in understanding that extremes are often the minority that they have to use something as an attack just for being different.
Very good video, I must admit that I adore seeing people respond to transphobes. It’s just fun seeing the angry transphobes then the trans people just kinda going “oh look another one. I also love that you always add positive comments too, does really help remind everyone that it isn’t all hate
Planar, I started watching your channel for the flat earth debunking ( which you are quite proficient at ), and I also enjoy your trans content. I am 60, and agree with you regarding being too old for stuff. I try to surround myself with people who still have their childlike awe and innocence about them. It just makes life more fun. Keep up the good work. ❤️🙏
I was talking about how great you look during my art stream today! My wife is a trans woman. She’s almost completely blind now and wishes she could do her makeup. I do hers when I have time, and yours is so spot on! You look great!
It’s gotten SOOO bad online recently…much love to you PW! Always enjoy your content so thank you for continuing to bring small bits of joy to the day ☝️😊
Three "good girl"s and "yes, I have curvature", 10/10 video.
Satire is often not laugh out loud funny. Take a look at “A modest proposal”
Some years ago there was a sitcom on the BBC based round a character, Alf Garnett, who was a complete right wing bigot. The comedy came from him being surrounded by all those he was bigoted against and losing every battle he ever fought.
In one episode, his gay black lodger claimed that aliens would think black people were the superior beings because they did so well in the Olympics. Alf countered with that being a benefit from being taken to the US as slaves. The joke being the fact it was such an outrageous statement.
Recently, I hear DeSantis saying how many ex slaves benefited from their slavery by having learned skills they could put into practice as free people.
Same thing but one as satire and one said seriously.
I was born and grew up in the pre trans generation. The concept didn't exist. The use of the word didn't exist. But I was brought up to respect diverse personalities and self determinism. So for me, trans is no more unusual than someone who has a favourite colour. It's just another part of the humanity, we all share.
I loved your reaction to the “Trans Earther?” Comment. “Yes, I have curvature.” Gave me a genuine chuckle
Oh! THAT'S 🎶 Careless Whisper! 🎶 Now that i hear it playing in my head, was that by an early George Michael?
🎵 . . . I'm never gonna dance again! Guilty feet! I've got no rhythm! I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you! 🎵 And then 🎶🎷
You're never too old for stuff. Every day flat-earthers prove they're not too old for kindergarten.
In fact I think many of them may still be too young.
Thank you Planar for all your work, but thank you for being one of the many reasons I've learned about my egg self.
As for hydrating, I've been a good girl, grabbed my water and had a sip! 🥰 Stay Hydrated!
I cannot overstate how much of an inspiration you are to me!
I Never comment, but I watch every one of your videos. I am a CIS male, and for the longest time (years ago when I first heard about people that were trans) it was hard for me to understand what being trans was. I am so glad I can now say that honestly these are my favorite videos you do. You just get to be you, and it comes through so clear that you are so much more comfortable, now that you can be you.
Planarwalk - the first person to call me a Good Girl and make me smile.
You have ZERO obligation to respond to any of my comments. And even if you do or did I might even miss it. However I always assume you at least read my comments and that is good enough for me. I have been subbed to you pretty much since day one and observing your channel grow gives me some kind of hope for humanity.💙
Planarwalk, I love you. Not like in the creepy stalker way, but in the "people aren't all the same but we're all human, and pseudoscience is bullshit" way. You're beautiful. Never stop being you.
"You're too old for X" is one of my pet hates. An ex once yelled at me for "being childish". What did I do? Well, I went out for some drinks with my fellow teachers and got very drunk. "Childish". Uh huh. Some people just think fun = childish, and they probably overlap quite a lot with the people who think (only) women can only be miserable.
I was originally bothered by "dude." Back then. I didn't realize that women were also called "dude." It still bothers me a tiny bit. 🏳️⚧️🤷♀️
...The thing that hooked me into this video is the bemused kazoo playing. Thanks for that one!
As a cis-male, I identified with the comment about not understanding trans. It exists, I know it does, but I don’t personally know anyone who identifies as transgender.
However, I’m not scared to acknowledge that just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean that thing is wrong or evil. It just means I have more to learn about it.
The biggest hurdle I have gotten over is sex =/= gender. XY can’t magically become XX, so if you can’t change sex, how can you change gender? Learning that I was conflating two distinct and separate terms was a game changer.
Thanks Planar. Comedy suggestion. When on saxophone and with a moustache, you'd be a dead ringer for Blue Lou from the original Blues Brothers.
Mate,iv watched you for about a year now and let me tell you,you are an inspiration to me and lots of others and cute too ! Keep on what your doing and turn all the negativity into positivity ❤
A) Our New Zealand accents are amazing 🥰
B) Make more of an effort to pass??? What a crock of sh*t. Not all cis women wear tons of heavy makeup or wear heavily feminine clothing etc, so why should trans women have to make more 'effort' to pass anyways? They do what's right for their own journey.
I think you are amazing. I love your content and how you approach it. I admire your courage to openly express yourself on CZcams, and not hide who you are. You shouldn't have to, anyway.
I internalised a ton of stuff about passing when I was early on transitioning, it’s rough on people. It’s very rewarding to pass but it’s not nice to hold it against people if they can’t or don’t want to
I actually need to thank you.. my block list exploded with all the people who outed themselves as transphobes on your tweet/x. :)
When Planarwalk says "good girl" my toes curl a little bit.
If Planar ever changes it up with a "good boy" I'm doomed
Hearing planarwalk say 'Good Girl' does stuff to me.
Good stuff.
Love your content. Love your Humor. Love your make Up.
CHAIR
That section pleased me, mostly because of your feeling embarrassed afterwords. I love humanizing moments. Not that you lack for them, but it never hurts.
Also it makes me smile every time you say good girl because I like hearing that.
I recall "back in the day'" I noticed Planer wearing nail polish. At first I was like "maybe he is in a rock band" [yes, I assumed gender], but then I was like wanting to ask where they got the color. Granted I identify as a cis white male none of that even mattered to me as far as content, nor do I have any place to judge anyone else based on any of that. My world view overall lines up perfectly with Planerwalk regardless which is why I am subbed and will always remain so.
I kinda wait "hold up" when the blue Swedish furniture store sharks started appearing
Aha posted 5 minutes ago, the fastest I've ever caught a new planar video
@10:51, I'm 54 and play palworld, tell me I'm too old. .... Ooo, Planars got a nerf ... Arghhh My eye !! 🤣
I've used "dude" for male and female, I would try to be careful around Trans people though, but I make mistakes but wouldn't be malicious.
Why can't ppl just be happy? If you're a woman, a man, Trans, whatever as long as you're happy that is what is important.
Nice video btw, you made this old cis fart laugh out loud 👍
To the commenter who said the Demon Emotional Support plushie made you trans, i say HEY, let's leave Baphy outta this! he's just a sweet lil guy doin' his best.
10:52 you mised.
BTW i absolutely agree with your take on the "You're too old/(whatever) for _______ x" I am almost 50, and i still play with Transformers, and i've been recently looking at getting back into Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. (because we sell them at work. shhhh ;) )
Also, everytime i see Baphy featured in your videos. (not really "featured" so much as chillin in the background) i get really happy, and then am reminded I need to check on the one i gave my nephew for Christmas.
9:52 I also love that guy's Lieutenant Gruber picture. I tried to re-watch 'Allo! 'Allo! recently and it didn't tickle me the same way it did when I discovered it years ago. Still solid, but I found it difficult to binge.
I believe a large enough kazoo would be a form of audio weapon. A kazooka if you will.
Leaving a comment, as told. Am I a good girl??
Love your stuff, the A hoy hoy in the beginning always make me smile :)
I planned on leaving a comment anyway so here is what I’d like to say. As a Pansexual I find you very attractive. Love all your content and I hope you don’t stop producing it.
Haha the comment from whatdayisittrumpday has me howling 😂😂😂😂😂
I like how how they define women as submissive. Clearly they haven't met women.
🤣This show is nucking futs. 10/10🤣
Omg I get the happy wiggles when you say "good girl" aaaa 🥰😆
I can remember when a "dude" was a sharp-dressed man. "Hey, look at that dude !"
To old for plushies? No wonder these people are miserable.
I'm a 42yr old cis male and currently have above my desk...a monokuma plush, spiderman plush, a sloth plush and a blue dinosaur plush. Plushes are for everyone!
Awesome rendition of Careless Whisper!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I ❤ your goat plushie. Please where did you get it?? BTW, I'm 63 this year and all l can say is , good on you. You be you!!!
"Why did I do that?"
It was funny.
EDIT to add: Cis het male with plushies. They are adorable. I have a Grumpy Bear with epic side-eye. A Tux (Linux) penguin, and a Kurt Vonnegut, to name a few.
personally i got a fuzzy turtle
"There's nothing scientific about the trans movement."
....I know that this sort of ass-backwards 'reasoning' isn't exclusive to the flat earth nuttery, but I still find it surprising whenever I see it crop up elsewhere.
Although, it does help show which people live almost exclusively within echo-chambers, so I suppose there's something of a silver lining to it.
I tell people that I love women so much that I decided to be one. Truth is I was always a woman, I just didn't know it yet.
Glad that you're living your life your way instead of trying to please people. Transphobes would be much happier if they just used their energy to improve themselves instead of trying to put others down.
Anyone criticizing the "emotional support" plushies probably has some pet(s), sappy decorations, and/or religious beliefs/practices that are equally for emotional support. It's just classic projection combined with desperately or lazily searching for anything to attack.
the nice thing about being an adult is that you don't have to give a f* anymore about when others say you're too old for something :)
"yes, i have curvature" ... i fell from my chair laughing, and now my floor is concave.
me currently watching through transformers rba:
I lived 34 years thinking I was an odd autistic man. And now my favorite thing is when more transitioned girls call me a "good girl". Fucking HRT! I love it so much!
We'd love to have you on Bluesky, Planar. Lot less terfs and transphobes over there.
Apologize for kazooing me!
Blahaj is innocent of any possession accusations!
Edit: Also I got so many likes with my reply to that part of Alice's video. It's crazy.
As far as legally non-binary some US states such as Minnesota now allow the driver's license to select the gender markers as M, F, or X
Kazoo skills 10/10
I wish to see Planarwalk in the backyard singing the Onision song : I am a banana !
I would love to have a giant Blåhaj, but my bed isn't big enough. The other side of the bed is already occupied by other plushies (including a small Blåhaj ) and I need some place to sleep.
Saxophone? Bah, that's nothing compared to the sexiest instrument of all: the melodica!
Can we get a longer loop of your dance at 1:44? I mean, not too long, but.. longer. Reasons. >_> (It gave me a really good laugh!) I really love your videos and commentary, you're a great host and someone I can listen too for both facts and fun. Keep up the great work. =)
14:30 Your reaction genuinly made me burst out laughing X'D
Me: {watching video}
Planarwalk: {kazoo}
Me: {emergency scroll down}
Audio: {completely keeps playing at full volume}
Ah yes, "pretending" to be trans to make your life easier and be more popular. Of course. 🙄
Just here to be another person saying a thing on the supportive side of the ratio rather than the silly one. Stay hydrated!
I have to thank the person at 11:20+. I don't get to genuinely laugh out loud very often.
And stay hydrated!
