I’m a simmer and some people had strong opinions with the pronoun update and then the addition of binders and top surgery scars.. the sims team basically said “wah, cry about it” to the transphobes, was super cool to see
I'm a member of a number of Facebook Sims groups, and the massive amount of support for inclusivity was overwhelming. A few transphobes & homophobes made nasty comments and got a flood of clapback. I think most of them left the groups. Buhbye. They won't be missed.
Only issues with it for me is that the binder can't go under other clothing, the binder doesn't actually flatten chests, and that the pronouns have a lot of glitches, but I'm glad that they're at least making an effort!
I absolutely love the representation, but my biggest issue with the binder is that they also included it in the “sleepwear” category. I’m worried that young (or newly out) trans people will see it and think it’s safe to sleep while binding. Love the inclusion but I really want the sims team to fix this so people don’t hurt themselves 😭
Honestly, I'm surprised those people made it past being able to choose if your Sim could get others pregnant or become pregnant regardless of the phenotype you chose.
As a cis woman, I encourage bathroom segregation to keep us safe! A bathroom for women who wash their hands and exile. Trans women can be in either, that's up to their decisions
I'm a trans man in the US, and with everything going on right now, it's absolutely devastating. So I just wanted to tell you how much your videos have been getting me and other trans people through these extremely scary times. Thank you for existing Jamie, we need more people like you in this world❤
The “don’t want to see transsexuality?” Image is by a trans artist called sweatermuppet! His stuff is super cool and inspired by old queer zines and stickers from the 80s/90s
As a trans woman with a disability I love seeing representation for both of these things ACCOURING AT THE SAME TIME EDIT: HOLY CRAP 2.1K LIKES?! THANKS! Y’ALL ARE THE BEST! :D
As a trans woman with about a dozen neurodivergencies I absolutely agree, it's stupid that people are like "oh you're trans but you're schizophrenic so maybe you're not really trans" or "trans people can't need a wheelchair their whole thing is being trans not disabled" like fun fact : gender doesn't matter in terms of mental or physical disabilities
@@LyricTheMusicFox OMG people say that? Like they think you picked a lane and now everything in your life has to be about that one thing? That's fucking insane. How does anyone say that and not realise how stupid they sound?
Good bad trans anatomy: I was talking with a friend a while ago and somehow the conversation got round to toilets and how he hated having to find a stall every time he went, I asked him what was wrong with standing up to pee if he couldn't find a free stall ... I'd completely forgotten he was trans and hadn't had bottom surgery yet.
As an AMAB detransitioner, I want to reaffirm Jammi's argument that adults seeking hrt are *well* aware of the effects of their medications. I was very clear w/ my doctor that I didn't want breast growth but wanted to try a low dose of estradiol & spironolactone, & he fully looked me in the eyes & said "If you stay on this medication for long enough, you *will* grow breasts." & it was w/ that full knowledge that I made my decision. & on top of that, he specifically gave me a prescription that I could stop at any time for any reason should hrt not be the proper path for me. That decision turned out to not be right for me, but it wasn't the fault of me being medically uninformed or of my doctor being flippant w/ my transition. I look at it like making a smart, informed risk, & still getting unlucky. Sometimes you do the math, realize you have < 5% of a negative outcome, & then still get that negative outcome. It wasn't the fault of the medication. Moreover, I actually wanted to do laser hair removal first, before HRT. My logic was that I knew I needed (& still need) laser hair removal to combat the primary source of my dysphoria. Except my insurance would only cover HRT & not laser hair removal, as the latter is considered "cosmetic". & if the system were *more* free & open, I may never have gotten to a position of beginning HRT in the first place. TLDR: Ppl seeking gender-affirming care are made *well* aware of the effects & risks of those medications, & the gender critical puppets saying otherwise are lying. -- Michael-Giuliana (they/them)
Thank you for sharing your story! That was really interesting to me to read, as an AFAB demigirl. I like hearing other people's experiences and thoughts :)
Wait, I'm not the only one who didn't think that I was going to have female puberty due to knowing deep down inside that I wasn't a girl?!? I started menstruating later than most of my classmates, and I was absolutely convinced that the fact that my menstruation hadn't started yet was proof that I wasn't really a girl. I was absolutely devastated when I started my period and estrogen-based puberty hit me in earnest. And it sucked.
I wasn't immediately struck by the importance of the sims update but later in the video I caught myself thinking that I can make a post top surgery sim to live vicariously through. Like instead of just a cis guy which is always what I have done before, I'm genuinely quite emotional. Feeling excited to be able to "accessorise" with top scars I want one day, not just feeling envy at a flat chest
@@teddyjlockwood What's with that anyway? I mean, the options exist, no-one makes the transphobes create a sim that looks like that if they don't want to? Are they this annoyed about the hearing aids and diabetes injections options too?
My brother's girlfriend estimates that I'm already up to a B cup. In other good trans news my sister and her FTM husband welcomed their daughter/my niece into the world on March 21st. She was premature, but still came out heavier than my sister was when she was born premie and is set to be released from the NICU any day now. He's overjoyed to be a dad, she's overjoyed to be a mom, and I'm overwhelmingly dysphoric about how I'll never be able to get pregnant.
Remember that you don’t have to be pregnant to become a mom. ❤ (Also, your feelings are valid - you’re allowed to grieve not being able to be pregnant. That doesn’t change how happy you may feel over becoming an aunt.)
9:12 child of a transphobe here, this argument doesn’t matter to them cause they’ll just say “they just want to make money of of the surgeries and chemicals(hormone therapy) and keep you in the system your whole life” 😐it’s literally impossible to have a conversation or even a debate because they can literally just pull things out their ass and they’ll die on that hill each time
Pull things out of their ass? You mean like abolishing factual biology for your personal agenda? Why do you think we don't listen to you people.... You're all mentally unwell, living in a fantasy world, all whilst being used as cash cows🤦. By the way, don't you dare disagree with me. I'm a non-binary wolf that identifies as a cheetah. If you say anything negative whatsoever, you're a bigot. Right?
If it helps at all, my fiancé was able to argue a transphobe into stunned silence by asking why they weren’t protesting the forced surgeries and hormone therapy intersex individuals are subjected to when they were protesting gender affirming treatment for kids. They were so shocked by the fact that there were children actually undergoing what they claimed was happening, just not trans kids.
Ugh, I had someone argue this for my medically necessary hysterectomy (though I wanted one anyway). Like no, it decreased my dependence on the "medical system". And significantly improved my quality of life. Cause PASSING OUT FROM CRAMPS kinda puts a damper on your life.
@@notquiteasamazingjess because when you sew someone hands where it should be its called cure, but if you sew it to place where it shouldnt its called horrible human experiment.
What's their argument for countries where the health care system covers the cost then? Although, I've heard the opposite comment here in the UK: "NHS funds are stretched, we should be using them on cancer patients not trans people" 🙄
I read a story a little while back where two cousins both came out as trans and they just swapped middle names which i thought was absolutely adorable - not related to the video really I just wanted to share that 😁
@@hotchocbooks omg that's too funny! I really need to educate myself more on genderqueer stuff. I "get" the binary trans stuff but I'm still working on that, you know? Thanks for replying so fast!
@@rachelwebber3605 the beauty of being any kind of not-cis in my experience is the neverending jokes you can make about your gender identity Forr example, I saw one on Tumblr that described gender as 'whatever makes the joke funny, so a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and if they can't then god forbid women do anything' 🤣🤣
Hell. Yes. Cus like even if you're being trans-affirming by hating someone's clothes, you are often being misogynistic. My boyfriend can show up anywhere in beach shorts and no one will bat an eye but I have to look a certain way because for some reason people think women and queer people exist to be looked at
Local School district got money to update their buildings, mostly in relation to technology access ,but they also included updating the buildings to having gender neutral rest rooms. Made me proud of the community
That's great to hear! My mom is a principal and she had a student that identifies as a "tomboy" and feels really uncomfortable using the girls room so they got a pass to use the bathroom in the nurse's office instead. It would have been awesome if there had been a gender neutral bathroom closer to their classroom
unfortunately it does make me wonder if it means that they are also not sending cervical screening reminders to trans men - who still benefit from the screenings
Haha! I imagine it's just an oversight in the automated system as they have you down as a woman, but that is funny and I'm glad you found it affirming! I'd never really thought about it, but that would make sense that that would be an unintended side-effect of updating your gender in the systems. I honestly hope they don't fix it, because that's funny and I imagine trans people might quite enjoy receiving those.
@@Zak-gl4ig Well if they're just sending reminders, I imagine they're being sent automatically. So, I don't know what resources are being wasted, at least if it's sent online or via text like so many NHS reminders are these days.
Never be worried about cutting out anyone who doesn't have your best interest at heart. It sucks that you'll likely have to deal with that friend for a while still, but don't be afraid to make your boundaries clear. No one should be able to treat you worse for who you love. ❤
I wanted to say thank you because your videos have helped me realize I’m non-binary. Bless your soul and have a nice day, dude! Edit: wow. That became way more of a discussion than I expected it to
@@blowinatrannysome people have a feeling they are or little things here and there that don't add up but hearing how they feel described by another person helps them realize.
Recent fox articles has JKR replying to her critics about her transphobic statements - “What if you’re wrong?” - B***h what if you’re wrong!? People who ask that never seem to think they could be wrong 😑
Yeah, the "but what if you're wrong, change your mind, etc" argument is bullshit. I had someone pull that on me about wanting a hysterectomy. Like IDK, I can't really change my mind about PASSING OUT FROM CRAMPS!! Their suggestion? "Well just stop then". Oh yeah, right, I forgot to tell my body I didn't want it to pass out cause I thought it was fun.
As someone raised in the US in a particularly religious part of the country, I never even heard mention of specific hormones until I got out of school. Like our education was either very “This is what happens to you during puberty,” I.e. body odor, sweating, other general symptoms. Or it was like “The endocrine system is the part of the body that controls hormones.” In Anatomy and that was as deep as it got. It’s no wonder so many people in America don’t understand how anatomy works honestly.
Grown women who think there are only two holes down there. As in one hole for pee doing double duty for periods, sex and childbirth. Teenagers have the right to know how their bodies work. Girls so naive they don't realize what was done to them was rape. Girls swearing they've never had sex right up until the baby is born because they do not know what sex is. Knowledge keeps them safe. More respected for being 15 and pregnant than 15 and on birth control. Shame on parents for keeping kids ignorant.
yep, sex ed was the gym coach explaining that this nebulous thing called "PMS" would eventually happen and change your body. tbh, all i remember were the diagrams. when my period actually came, i had _no_ idea what was going on
Even in non-religious parts of the country, I'm still explaining to people that genotype doesn't always match phenotype (i.e., there are people with XY genotype, born with a vagina, and assigned female at birth despite being genetically male), and that genotypic sexual expression and phenotypic sexual expression don't always match behavioral sexual expressions. Using other animals as examples brings on the "humans are special and separate from nature" argument, which is just absolutely baffling to a biologist like me. And it's doubly baffling when the same person insists that trans identities also "go against nature".
I’m a gay cis guy, but I really like watching your videos. They have taught me so much, and since I have a lot of trans friends, it’s really helpful! Love you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Yeah, I love that he talks so openly about it because it takes off the burden from trans people I know to do the educating for me. Plus he's just really funny
I don't understand why we don't just label bathrooms by what type of facilities they contain. Make one room with urinals and label it "urinals", make one room with stalls and label it "stalls", and there you have it. Everyone can use whatever fits their needs.
Thank you for the lovely vibes, sir 🙏 As a semi-closeted trans girl trying to get out of Texas (moving out to be on-campus this fall), I so very much appreciate some light in this tunnel. And I appreciate you! All the hugs! - Liv
I'm gay and live in Texas, and have a lot of trans friends living here. High school is a struggle here for my friends and, even if I live in a more accepting area, being targeted by extremely unfair laws. I hope you find success at your college because it would be better than living in a state that's, unfortunately, volatile to queer people. Best of luck!
I'm a recovered non-hand washer. I've noticed that some guys will just splash water around to make it look like they do. Is it really that hard? 1. Wet hands 2. Add soap 3. Sing the alphabet song twice while trying to get every inch of your hands lathered. 4. Rince and dry Takes 30 seconds all together and that's good enough to pass a health inspection. Note. It's best to sing in your head... Trust me.
At least you realized the importance and started working on a good habit. I was mortified how many people proudly proclaimed they never wash their hands, or actively stopped washing their hands during the pandemic.
@@KristiChan1 Same. I worked at a grocery store in 2020 so I saw a lot of ignorant people. My favorite were those that tried, but had no idea what they were doing and would NOT take advice. Example; We had a couple people-as in more than one in a town of ~900-that would wear latex gloves into the store fingering everything along the way including their faces. Then take the gloves off, sanitize their hands, and put the exact same gloves on, not even sanitizing the outside. I tried to say something but they just could not make the connection that the glove itself might be dirty. Edit; that was one of them, I just remembered what the other one said. They did believe the gloves were dirty, but it couldn't get him sick because it wasn't on his skin. Then he itched his nose with his middle finger and walked off. Lol. Idiot
You forgot the nails step!!! Make sure you get some lather in your palm and swipe your nails on it like it's a file, it helps get at what's under your nails. Source: tried it with constantly grody nails due to a bad stimming habit that gets cloth fibers under there all the time, that gets the stuff stuck under there easier than picking it out with the tip of a nail file. 10 extra seconds on each hand but it's worth it for making sure your nails are not hosting icky germs.
@@jeremyblade7561 My condolences you had to deal with the public during that time. I've heard some really awful stories about the treatment of workers. Speaking of incomprehension, I think the one that makes me facepalm the most is when someone wears a mask, but then pull it down to sneeze. How are people so stupid?!
I haven't seen anyone else taking about this, but Michigan recently passed a law that protects LGBTQ+ people from being discriminated against. They also managed to keep religious loopholes that would allow further discrimination out of it too! I'm so proud of my home state :3❤
I had a 7 yo look at me one time, interrupt my conversation with his older sibling, and say 'some boys are girls and some girls are boys. And sometimes girls have penises.' ME AND HIS SIBLING WERE SHOCKED- both of us are trans to a degree- But we weren't even talking about that- he just said it out of nowhere
i'm trans and when i was a teacher, kids would blurt stuff like that out to me somewhat frequently. i would also have kids explain what being trans was me which was always very endearing. perhaps most endearing though was a kiddo who after I mentioned I was a girl scout growing up even though I'm a boy now was like "so...I could be a girl scout too if I wanted? or a princess?" of course!
My mum asked me when I came out (for about the tenth time) what effects testosterone would have on me. We were in a public place so I didn't want to go too into detail so I said "you know what testosterone does" and she looked at me like she really didn't. It's slightly concerning that an adult knows nothing about some very basic hormones
I went through a Hawaiian shirt phase. Like I went from wearing a lot of black to wearing tacky Hawaiian shirts to wearing black again. I guess it was just a clothes moment I had to live through. 😂
do the whole 80s thing with the sports car, neon lights, hawaii shirts, really big aviators, and synthwave. alternatively pink shirts and white suits. out of touch out of time
i've always been baffled by single-stall restrooms that are still gendered. even as a young kid my mom would encourage me to just use whichever one was open as it didn't matter since they were single-stall. i also do love that more *explictly* gender neutral single-stall restrooms are opening up, but i would love to see more gender neutral multi-stall restrooms. it's a pain when the one single-stall gender neutral restroom in the building is occupied (or when the only one is on the bottom floor and i'm on the top floor and i don't have a long enough break to go downstairs and come back) and i have to decide between waiting or swallowing my pride and going in the women's.
My workplace keeps doing that. Anytime they repaint the stalls and put up the new sign it is gendered again. It could just be "urinary" "toilet" and "wheelchair-accessible" especially since inside the exposotion they are nutral. No but next to the café they need to be gendered - I don't get it. I wonder if there is a law that given a certain size of café there need to be binary options, cuz i remember that used to be a thing. The weirdest thing to me is that healthy cis-men have come to us complaining that if they have to go number two, there's only the "accessible" option and since they are not disabled, they don't have a place to shit - like WHAT!?
The back rooms at my workplace have single stall bathrooms with gendered labels... but honestly literally nobody cares which one you use, I've seen men come out of the women's and women come out of the men's all the time.
I remember when people would hop into a single stall that wasn't assigned to their gender (in the binary sense) because the other one was occupied and they really needed to use the bathroom. And it wasn't a big deal! Only since tRump was on office did the non-issue snowball into what it is now.
Just work on the basis that using whatever toilet is less hassle for an establishment than it is to be cleaning up your mess, because you were waiting for the relevant toilet to be free
Saw that Sims 4 patch come down the other day, and lost my effing mind. FINALLY! Thank yo so much for all the positivity. You rock! Next month, I'm getting the (probably) last bottom surgery I want. Then comes T, then comes name-change paperwork. Might be some serious thoughts about top surgery, although I may stick with binders because enby, and because surgery is haaaaard on the body. (Then again, so is dysphoria.)
That's interesting. What made you choose that order, if you don't mind me asking? Most (if not all) of the trans people I've seen go hormones, top surgery, bottom surgery.
Hot take? But... Trans people go on hormones PRECISELY because they know the effects of hormones. That's why we want them, lmao! Thanks for this video, it's always delightful to hear your thoughts, Jamie!
Yeah. I mean, I imagine most trans people think "Yes! Those are exactly the changes I've been longing for!" Or at least most of them, nobody wants more butt hair.
@@conlon4332Saw a meme of some trans guys on r/traa I think it was One of them said "I didn't transition to look good, I transitioned to look like Hank Hill and I fucking will" Definetely not how it actually went but I think we should all strive just like him to be our best selves, whatever so may be.
I am currently a trans minor in Tennessee, so life is really hard right now. Luckily my family is working hard to be able to get us to move to a less transphobic and bigoted state, but it's still really hard to just live right now. I'm also worried about all the trans kids who can't move and are much younger than me. Watching these videos helps keep my mind off how the govt. wants me dead, thank you.💙
As an artist who doesn't identify as trans, I enjoy watching videos like this so that I can educate myself and apply these things I learn to my trans ocs and represent people correctly and naturally within my worlds, one thing I've always known, is to just have any type of character, trans or otherwise, just be a person. They may be trans but that isn't their whole character or personality, people have depth and trans people are no exception. My roster of trans, enby and other lgbtqia+ characters has been growing over the past few years and they're some of my favourite ocs.
you're telling me people are people?!??! this can't be real... /s I'm joking here but I swear to god some idiots just can't get this simple statement through their 50cm thick steel reinforced skulls.
Gender neutral toilets have been around forever, people have just not cared until grifters convinced them they're an issue. My GP has two toilets, both gender neutral, same with my pneumologist. Small bakeries often only have one toilet. Again, nobody cared, ever.
I work on a food truck, and we park at a bar on the hipster side of town a couple days a week. As we're there about 24 hours in 2 day's time, we're all really familiar with the bar staff. Said bar has four bathrooms, all individual stalls, all behind their own door. The only way someone would see you in there is if you forgot to lock the door and someone walks in thinking the stall was vacant. Because of where the bar is located and their whole accepting vibe, they get a lot of traffic from trans people. So the bar owner had the idea to make every stall gender neutral, not only to help make some of their patrons feel more comfortable but also to help cut down on lines. They had up gender neutral signs for about a week, before the health department came by and said they couldn't do that. They were given no justification as to why it wasn't allowed. This is also in Tennessee, so I'm sure that clarifies things a bit. I hate that such a beautiful state is full of such ugly people. Just let people take a piss.
@@paulhammond6978 yep. Health dept. comes by and it's seen as a violation. They probably wouldn't get much more than fined, but it's still ridiculous. Like, you can have "family" bathrooms or whatever, but there also have to be clearly labeled male and female bathrooms.
omg i relate so much with the fit thing. When my friend came out as non-binary we were still in middleschool and you know, middleschool kids judge a lot based on looks and such. I was so embarrassed being seen with them when we were out together. I mean, yes I loved them and I supported them therefore I never told them about it but oh god that was so relatable-
The tampon thing could be fairly innocuous, honestly. Even if you don’t personally use them, it’s nice to have menstrual supplies on hand in case someone else ends up needing them. (besides, there are…much more questionable things to find in that scenario)
@@sallywright8065 ??? This happens to me a couple times a month. Granted, it's at a university where they usually provide menstrual products, except for a couple restrooms here and there that don't. Sometimes people forget which ones are which. Sometimes people get surprised, because biology doesn't always cooperate with tracking apps. You might not personally have experienced it, but that doesn't mean it's never happened to anyone ever.
I work at Timberland. A woman came in and looked at the soles of the classic timbs, and she said that they have “heels” which should only be “for women” and began to express how awful it is that we sell shoes for “transvestites.” 🤦♀️ It took me a moment to process that she said that, but also said it to ME of all people.

Trying out your style as your coming out is important. I was able to find a consignment store with a $3 room. Everything was $3 or less and it was great to try out new things without spending tons of money. That is my biggest recommendation, find a second hand store, thrift shop or whatever and save that way. Once you find your style you can buy new stuff but before then just try different things.
I already have a style! Darkness™️ No but, second hand shops are great in general, just not for finding awesome, cheap clothes, but all sorts of wondrous, shiny things. Every queer friend need an old-school coffee grinder, mkay?
“Trans kids aren’t told what hormones would do to them” Yea and as a trans guy on birth control I wasn’t told what would happen but when I mentioned puberty blockers to my doc that was the most in depth conversation ever.
I started watching your videos at the very beginning of my ftm transition because it was reassuring to see another guy going through it (you'd just gotten bottom surgery!) And I appreciate your videos they're a reliable and relaxing spot in my subfeed
Very glad to see another positive Jammi video❤️❤️❤️ I’m working on 2 big assignments about transphobia for my uni classes and it’s been super draining. I need some wholesome positive vibes to counteract the amount of daily wire videos and state legislature I’ve consumed
What can you possibly find about "transphobia"? Essentially nobody is scared of a man in a dress. As for transgenders and LGBTQ as a whole, they're all hypocritical lunatics
Random trans celebration moment, I just got my name changed on my school email account! It's so amazing to not have to see my deadname every time I do homework, or worry about who I email anymore. Stay strong everyone.
Aww! That sounds like a good way to encourage you to do your homework, haha! But also, is your homework online these days? Way to make me feel old haha, even though I'm really not!
@@conlon4332 Yeah, during Covid all our homework went online and we started using a new platform for schoolwork, and after we continued doing homework mostly online. It's nice because now I don't have 10,000 papers to keep track of in my backpack lol
Recently i was at the movie theatre and i noticed that instead of having the man/woman bathroom signs, they just had an image of a urinal and a toilet where you sit down on. I thought it was a great solution. You're showing exactly what it is and everyone, regardless of their gender can just choose what type of toilet they want to use
Just wanna point out the art in the thumbnail, "Don't want to see transsexuals? Pluck out your eyes" is by the trans artist Silas Denver Melville, known by the username sweatermuppets - he is an incredible artist and writer!! Edit: typos :)
I absolutely LOVE how inclusive The Sims is. And they're adding MORE?? I am honestly impressed and incredibly happy to have so much representation in such a popular game.
As a biologist, the reason none of us are shouting out against transpeople is because it's none of our damn business. Sex and gender are two different things. We deal with sex but you are expressing your gender. Gender is a topic for those social scientists and we don't want anything to do with people. Also there are so many queer biologists it's wonderful.
@@trevorchester4439 Considering the fact that AFAB people have been shown to XY chromosomes, AMAB people being shown to have XY, and lots of people having other variants like XXX, XXY or even XYY, I would say the idea of it not being binary is fairly accurate.
@@trevorchester4439 in point of fact MJ is quite correct. There are multipossible chromosome combinations that are beyond just XY or XX. Which in fact means that sex is not a binary outcome. However there are a finite number of outcomes which means Sex is also not a spectrum within human biology. Additionally, many other organisms have a sex chromsonal combinations that lead to outcomes other than a binary male and female. Mammals sometimes experience combinations that lead to noreproductive adults, insects often times have multiple forms of male and females depending on their life cycles. Other organisms are hermaphroditic but express a more male or female phenotype. Other species their sex isnt chromosally dependent at all, it's based on environmental factors. Sometimes it's can be density dependent within that environment and they will shift back and fortg between male.and female based on the sex ratio. In anycase you're simply wrong and anyone with a basic grasp of biology should know that when you get too a chromosonal level the male female description of species breaks down. It breaks as a concept as you move out into fungi and plants as well. The point however remains, that a binary biological understanding of sex doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
My three year old cosine calls me him … I am a trans man and never told her to call me him when she was confronted about it she said “but he is a boy” and then explains to my parents and aunty that when someone is a boy she needs to call them he … I am so happy considering none of the grownups in my family take me seriously when I say I’m trans so having this little girl calling my him and thinking I’m generally a boy is honestly the best thing I’ve ever experienced it’s just like MMMM ✨gender✨

10:51 Usually this is correct, most minors don't take hormone therapy but I've been on it since I was 15. Some places minors can have access to it, just to clear that up for other people in the comments
it’s been really discouraging to see so much transphobia online recently, especially in america, so i’m happy that you made this video because i need trans positivity in my life right now
6:06 will you get a notification if your sim has a binder like: “___ has worn their binder for more than 6 hours! Take it off soon or else ___ will get back problems!”
you do not. the sims trans rep is, while better than nothing, utter garbage. your sims can look trans, they can’t be trans. they cant actually bind. they can use they/them but cant be non binary. they can have top surgery scars but they can’t get top surgery. its ass.
i love the sims. i was so happy to see that you can customize characters by who they have romantic interests in, including no one, anyone, and if they’re questioning. same with woohoo interests. you can also customize if they can pee standing up or sitting down, and if they can get pregnant or get others pregnant.
Love your content so much, I'm a young trans guy who recently came out to a few teachers and friends as noah. You and some other trans/trans allies on yt have helped me figure out who i am.

Positive or not it makes my day seeing a notification that you've posted a new video. Also does anyone have advice on how to come out to a large amount of people it would really help so I can tell people in the simplest and quickest of ways. Thanks for reading this whoever you are I hope your day/night is going well :)
In terms of the coming out thing, I got my friends to help spread the word and luckily my school doesn’t require legal names on the register so that helped too (ask any supportive teachers to call you by Noah and smart/supportive kids should catch on pretty quickly)
@@SunnyCress thanks! Im going to potentially tell my form tomorrow with a PowerPoint me and my best friend made but we just need a teachers permission. If we do that I am going to then ask teachers who teach form lessons to start calling me noah. I appreciate you, a random person, being so kind. Have a great dayyyy
I really need more of these tbh we have enough negativity in this world already, and if your personality alone makes the 'bad anatomy' vids wholesome, making more of the good anatomy stuff would be so conforting :,)) Keep it up man!!
I was prepared to be a sourpuss about it being good trans anatomy instead of bad (any) anatomy because that stuff is so funny to me, but it was a really good video and so many people in the comments seem really touched by the positive representation, so keep it coming! Thank you!
I have no words for how much I love your content! So much positivity and kindness, I love it! And for whoever is reading this: you are special and you matter, keep up the good work! Have a good day/night everyone!
The one thing I wasn't told would happen to my body when I transitioned was that when that specific growth happened it -ached-. Like, for a year, growing pains in that one really annoying, really specific, really unfortunate part of my body. I had a friend (male with children) I was talking to about my laparoscopic hysterectomy with, and he was like "wait, how did they get it all out, then, if it's just the three tiny holes." and I was like "Um, you know there's a nice big hole down there, right?" And he looked at me like I was crazy for a good minute before it dawned on him that I had lady bits, not man bits. Dude had known me for, like, 5+ years pre-transition, and 6 months in had already forgotten I wasn't amab. Which... honestly just kinda points to me having only been in the closet to myself for a huge chunk of that time.
just gradually coming out of a illness(vague as its personal) episode and its nice to have a cozy video to watch from you jamie thank you for your awesome vibes that you share to the world💛
Thank you for the positivity ❤️ I really needed it today. I’ve been trying to get top surgery for years, finally had a consult set up, and then my surgeon’s office called today and said they no longer want to provide medical services to transgender people, even being an adult. So I needed something happy.
Especially as s trans woman we NEED that one friend or SO that straight up tells us our look is trash. We all have that super awkward phase. You expect it at 13 not in your 20s or 30s. The men's vs ladies toilets was a bit of a surprise. They are nicer and unlike the men who choose the farthest stall/urinal women will just sit down next to you and start talking on the phone.
I'm polyamorous and my most recent ex-girlfriend was trying to get with this girl who went by my desd nickname and did not respect that I was uncomfortable with her saying that name around me, fun times
@@msjkramey I told the ex-gf that it would take me a bit to get used to hearing it- it still causes me dysphoria after all- but she didn't respect my feelings. Didn't last too long til I broke up with the ex (not because of this btw, she was manipulative af)
@@eboone I did that, then the person I nicknamed ended up changing their name, too. Every single person I have met with my dead name has ended up changing it.
There is no way I got a transphobic ad RIGHT after clicking this. The video went like: “ Ok guys! So was trans until I went to * A FACE CREAM * and it fixed me! “ * insert 8 more people basically saying ‘ no I was trans until * insert face cream * helped me! ‘ * “ They helped my son/daughter realize they weren’t trans, I thought they were lost in the * puts up hands and does quote on quote * community. “ This was just like, woah. I laughed my butt off and regretted not screen recording it lol
@@wacawaka1802 if you wanna talk about that, let’s talk about cis people shooting up schools too. Not all trans people are good, not all cis people are good. Not all people are good, and so you shouldn’t judge a community by one person.
@@alexwallace6904 that’s like someone bringing up hitler and you saying “oh yea well Stalin” bruh, the problem almost all normal shooters aren’t targeting trans people or people of different religions. Meanwhile this case the used trans as the excuse and targeted Christian’s. Oh and yes, let’s talk about them. Hey ever notice how they tend to be democrats? Weird…. Oh that’s not a conspiracy. Look up political affiliations of shooters.
4:01 I want to see a piece of media that has a Trans Person goes shopping montage. One of the most iconic shopping montages (in general) has to be in ‘Pretty Woman’.
6:20 YES i love Sims4 for trans characters!! Idk if that binder & scars thing is a mod (probably), but vanilla Sims4 has: You can choose seperately: Gender male/female (i forgot if they added a third?) Pronouns he/she (i forgot if they added they?) Physical shape male/female (and then change it to look more ambiguous if you like) Clothing preference masculine/feminine (but basically, you can wear whatever you like) Using Bathroom: sits to pee/can pee standing up Fertility: can get pregnant / can get others pregnant / neither It's pretty awesome! And ofc gets better with nice mods!
I love this. We need more of this. I remember going to a Tim Hortons in Winnipeg and their washroom was gender neutral. I then visited a collage in International Falls and they had intersex washrooms everywhere! It is so amazing to see. My new place of work changed all the washroom signs in the building to 'All-Genders' a few months after I started 🎉. Small victories grow into big ones.
I’m not transphobic, but I just think that trans people are fucking awesome. y’all are some of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. every trans person i’ve met has been incredibly kind, and caring
@@johnthumble5154 silence, that was one incident. you're really going to base your opinion of an ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE off of the atrocities of one single person? weak.
@@johnthumble5154so, if we're boiling down several million people into the actions of one person with documented disorders the state knew about and still gave them a gun despite the parents trying to stop it. Then you are okay with yourself being held accountable for the several thousand school shootings in America in the past couple decades done by cis people? You know, because they're cis, you're cis, clearly you're deranged and need help before you should ever be allowed children because they represent everyone
I hope the next Sims game (assuming there is one) goes even further into representation/diversity. Like introducing physical and mental disabilities, and more varied heights.
With the whole washing hands thing, every time my dad leaves to use the restroom at home and he comes out right after flushing I always ask him if he washed his hands. He’ll say he doesn’t need to if he just pees but I always insist he still wash. It has begun to become a habit for him to start washing even if it’s just to avoid me pestering him 😂
Right-wingers: Think of the children! American medical boards: That's... why I'm here. In other news, my father is refusing to hand over my birth certificate in order for me to change my name (and is being overall quite transphobic about it) so GUESS WHO JUST ORDERED A NEW ONE 😄🥳🎉
@@johnthumble5154 Scared about toilet cooties? That's the level of reasoning I expect from right winger. It's so cute when you things try to imitate humans.
There's always the disheveled phase when growing out hair from really short. I have multiple "cow licks" so it's uh, always interesting to see what my hair does when I grow it out lol.
I recently went to a public bathroom and a tourist asked me wich ones were for males and for females (there was writing in my native language on the doors). It felt so good to say 'both' cause the writing was just about the decor in each toilet😂 i love gender neutral bathrooms
Thanks for an amazing video Jamie! You actually over the years have taught me more about trans people than I used to know. And also inspired me to actually go look into things more deeply myself. I just wanted to share that yes, I used to be transphobic due to ignorance, but ended up reading all of the studies you list during some of your videos and they helped me realise my views were wrong. I've been spending the last year advocating for trans rights in my Church in Australia, and although it's a slow progress, the Church now will at least use people's correct names and pronouns when asked, even though they don't believe in the reality of someone having the wrong assigned gender at birth. It was also in the comment section of one of your own videos that I came to realise I was genderfuild, and that has been a huge relief. So thank you so much Jamie for doing what you're doing!
I’m a simmer and some people had strong opinions with the pronoun update and then the addition of binders and top surgery scars.. the sims team basically said “wah, cry about it” to the transphobes, was super cool to see
W sims team
I'm a member of a number of Facebook Sims groups, and the massive amount of support for inclusivity was overwhelming. A few transphobes & homophobes made nasty comments and got a flood of clapback. I think most of them left the groups. Buhbye. They won't be missed.
Only issues with it for me is that the binder can't go under other clothing, the binder doesn't actually flatten chests, and that the pronouns have a lot of glitches, but I'm glad that they're at least making an effort!
I absolutely love the representation, but my biggest issue with the binder is that they also included it in the “sleepwear” category. I’m worried that young (or newly out) trans people will see it and think it’s safe to sleep while binding. Love the inclusion but I really want the sims team to fix this so people don’t hurt themselves 😭
Honestly, I'm surprised those people made it past being able to choose if your Sim could get others pregnant or become pregnant regardless of the phenotype you chose.
As a cis-female I find it disturbing when someone uses a public restroom and doesn't wash their hands 😮
I always wash my hands after using a public bathroom. Still working on it in my house.
wash their hands?
As a person who knows germs exist, I find it disturbing that people don't wash their hands after using the toilet.
As a cis woman, I encourage bathroom segregation to keep us safe! A bathroom for women who wash their hands and exile. Trans women can be in either, that's up to their decisions
Yeah, seriously it's really disgusting
I'm a trans man in the US, and with everything going on right now, it's absolutely devastating. So I just wanted to tell you how much your videos have been getting me and other trans people through these extremely scary times. Thank you for existing Jamie, we need more people like you in this world❤
The US is such a cesspit right now for minorities. I hope your relatively safe given the circumstances.
Please stay safe and remember that no matter what the buttholes say, you are valid and awesome just as you are, and they can all go to hell.
Please take care! It's a horrifying time!

As a trans woman with about a dozen neurodivergencies I absolutely agree, it's stupid that people are like "oh you're trans but you're schizophrenic so maybe you're not really trans" or "trans people can't need a wheelchair their whole thing is being trans not disabled" like fun fact : gender doesn't matter in terms of mental or physical disabilities

Good bad trans anatomy: I was talking with a friend a while ago and somehow the conversation got round to toilets and how he hated having to find a stall every time he went, I asked him what was wrong with standing up to pee if he couldn't find a free stall ...

As an AMAB detransitioner, I want to reaffirm Jammi's argument that adults seeking hrt are *well* aware of the effects of their medications. I was very clear w/ my doctor that I didn't want breast growth but wanted to try a low dose of estradiol & spironolactone, & he fully looked me in the eyes & said "If you stay on this medication for long enough, you *will* grow breasts." & it was w/ that full knowledge that I made my decision. & on top of that, he specifically gave me a prescription that I could stop at any time for any reason should hrt not be the proper path for me.
That decision turned out to not be right for me, but it wasn't the fault of me being medically uninformed or of my doctor being flippant w/ my transition. I look at it like making a smart, informed risk, & still getting unlucky. Sometimes you do the math, realize you have < 5% of a negative outcome, & then still get that negative outcome. It wasn't the fault of the medication.
Moreover, I actually wanted to do laser hair removal first, before HRT. My logic was that I knew I needed (& still need) laser hair removal to combat the primary source of my dysphoria. Except my insurance would only cover HRT & not laser hair removal, as the latter is considered "cosmetic". & if the system were *more* free & open, I may never have gotten to a position of beginning HRT in the first place.
TLDR: Ppl seeking gender-affirming care are made *well* aware of the effects & risks of those medications, & the gender critical puppets saying otherwise are lying.

Thank you for sharing your story! That was really interesting to me to read, as an AFAB demigirl. I like hearing other people's experiences and thoughts :)
As a detransitioner, do you support teenagers opting to take puberty blockers and cross hormones?
1) your name is fucking fire I love it
2) This was a very intresting and informative read, thank you for sharing it.
@@ShinyTillDawn no answer i wonder why......
NO ONE should allow that or are kids not kids anymore......
@@frankbutcher2601 Perhaps the OP has better things to do than stalk what's essentially an online forum.
Wait, I'm not the only one who didn't think that I was going to have female puberty due to knowing deep down inside that I wasn't a girl?!? I started menstruating later than most of my classmates, and I was absolutely convinced that the fact that my menstruation hadn't started yet was proof that I wasn't really a girl. I was absolutely devastated when I started my period and estrogen-based puberty hit me in earnest. And it sucked.
Nope definitely not the only one lol! XD
It very much sucks tho 😕
As a kid I used to think as long as I didnt want boobs I would never get them. Huge let down ¬_¬ very relatable
This one is sadly relatable
Exactly the same for me.
wait.. is this why my period started so late and my puberty hit even later???
man trans thoughts said “no u” as long as it could
I wasn't immediately struck by the importance of the sims update but later in the video I caught myself thinking that I can make a post top surgery sim to live vicariously through. Like instead of just a cis guy which is always what I have done before, I'm genuinely quite emotional. Feeling excited to be able to "accessorise" with top scars I want one day, not just feeling envy at a flat chest
Aw I'm glad that you'll have that outlet to hold you over! Good luck with your transition!
@@teddyjlockwood What's with that anyway? I mean, the options exist, no-one makes the transphobes create a sim that looks like that if they don't want to? Are they this annoyed about the hearing aids and diabetes injections options too?
My brother's girlfriend estimates that I'm already up to a B cup. In other good trans news my sister and her FTM husband welcomed their daughter/my niece into the world on March 21st. She was premature, but still came out heavier than my sister was when she was born premie and is set to be released from the NICU any day now. He's overjoyed to be a dad, she's overjoyed to be a mom, and I'm overwhelmingly dysphoric about how I'll never be able to get pregnant.
It's gonna be okay friend ❤ even if you're dysphoric in some places, you can be euphoric in others! Congratulations to your sister!
Congrats to you and your growing family! You may not be able to get pregnant but you can still be a mom one day! Good luck to you and God bless you!
give yourself time, things suck sometimes.😌Good to hear the kid's doing well though
Don’t worry, a bunch of Cis women can’t have pregnant so your not alone! Also congratulations on reaching a B cup! I’m so happy for you :D
Remember that you don’t have to be pregnant to become a mom. ❤ (Also, your feelings are valid - you’re allowed to grieve not being able to be pregnant. That doesn’t change how happy you may feel over becoming an aunt.)
Mis-heard ‘in sex ed’ as ‘insects ed’. We deserve insect education! ✨
As opposed to the incest ed conservatives want us to have.
Reminds me of being in first or second grade giggling over the word insects because it sounds like "in sex" lol
No, Insects Ed is the chill entomologist from down the block who's always rooting around the yard for beetles 'n stuff
It really bugs me that we don't have that yet. Like, WASPS up with that? Things really shouldn't BEE this way.
Alright, I'm done, I'll FLY away now.
My queer beekeeper's head nods vigorously in agreement !
9:12 child of a transphobe here, this argument doesn’t matter to them cause they’ll just say “they just want to make money of of the surgeries and chemicals(hormone therapy) and keep you in the system your whole life” 😐it’s literally impossible to have a conversation or even a debate because they can literally just pull things out their ass and they’ll die on that hill each time
Pull things out of their ass? You mean like abolishing factual biology for your personal agenda? Why do you think we don't listen to you people.... You're all mentally unwell, living in a fantasy world, all whilst being used as cash cows🤦.
By the way, don't you dare disagree with me. I'm a non-binary wolf that identifies as a cheetah. If you say anything negative whatsoever, you're a bigot. Right?
If it helps at all, my fiancé was able to argue a transphobe into stunned silence by asking why they weren’t protesting the forced surgeries and hormone therapy intersex individuals are subjected to when they were protesting gender affirming treatment for kids. They were so shocked by the fact that there were children actually undergoing what they claimed was happening, just not trans kids.
Ugh, I had someone argue this for my medically necessary hysterectomy (though I wanted one anyway). Like no, it decreased my dependence on the "medical system". And significantly improved my quality of life. Cause PASSING OUT FROM CRAMPS kinda puts a damper on your life.
@@notquiteasamazingjess because when you sew someone hands where it should be its called cure, but if you sew it to place where it shouldnt its called horrible human experiment.

Although, I've heard the opposite comment here in the UK: "NHS funds are stretched, we should be using them on cancer patients not trans people" 🙄

As a queer person, I really love to wear obnoxiously bright ugly things with a goth aesthetic around said things
Hell. Yes.
Cus like even if you're being trans-affirming by hating someone's clothes, you are often being misogynistic.

Local School district got money to update their buildings, mostly in relation to technology access ,but they also included updating the buildings to having gender neutral rest rooms.
Made me proud of the community
That's great to hear! My mom is a principal and she had a student that identifies as a "tomboy" and feels really uncomfortable using the girls room so they got a pass to use the bathroom in the nurse's office instead. It would have been awesome if there had been a gender neutral bathroom closer to their classroom
The school I work in has a number of single stall restrooms. One day they took the signage down, and poof, they were gender neutral.

I got my cervical screening reminder a couple of weeks ago. I've never had a cervix 😂 Now THAT is what I call affirmation.
unfortunately it does make me wonder if it means that they are also not sending cervical screening reminders to trans men - who still benefit from the screenings
Haha! I imagine it's just an oversight in the automated system as they have you down as a woman, but that is funny and I'm glad you found it affirming! I'd never really thought about it, but that would make sense that that would be an unintended side-effect of updating your gender in the systems. I honestly hope they don't fix it, because that's funny and I imagine trans people might quite enjoy receiving those.
@@conlon4332 Is it funny or is it a waste of resources?
@@Zak-gl4ig Well if they're just sending reminders, I imagine they're being sent automatically. So, I don't know what resources are being wasted, at least if it's sent online or via text like so many NHS reminders are these days.

As someone raised in the US in a particularly religious part of the country, I never even heard mention of specific hormones until I got out of school. Like our education was either very “This is what happens to you during puberty,” I.e. body odor, sweating, other general symptoms. Or it was like “The endocrine system is the part of the body that controls hormones.” In Anatomy and that was as deep as it got. It’s no wonder so many people in America don’t understand how anatomy works honestly.
Yeah, hormone wise I learned "ovaries make estrogen, testicles make testosterone". That was it. Which isn't incorrect but it's very incomplete.
Grown women who think there are only two holes down there. As in one hole for pee doing double duty for periods, sex and childbirth. Teenagers have the right to know how their bodies work. Girls so naive they don't realize what was done to them was rape. Girls swearing they've never had sex right up until the baby is born because they do not know what sex is. Knowledge keeps them safe. More respected for being 15 and pregnant than 15 and on birth control. Shame on parents for keeping kids ignorant.
yep, sex ed was the gym coach explaining that this nebulous thing called "PMS" would eventually happen and change your body. tbh, all i remember were the diagrams. when my period actually came, i had _no_ idea what was going on
Ok homophobe.
Even in non-religious parts of the country, I'm still explaining to people that genotype doesn't always match phenotype (i.e., there are people with XY genotype, born with a vagina, and assigned female at birth despite being genetically male), and that genotypic sexual expression and phenotypic sexual expression don't always match behavioral sexual expressions. Using other animals as examples brings on the "humans are special and separate from nature" argument, which is just absolutely baffling to a biologist like me. And it's doubly baffling when the same person insists that trans identities also "go against nature".

I don't understand why we don't just label bathrooms by what type of facilities they contain. Make one room with urinals and label it "urinals", make one room with stalls and label it "stalls", and there you have it. Everyone can use whatever fits their needs.
or just have one big bathroom with both stalls and urinals

Is it really that hard?
1. Wet hands
2. Add soap
3. Sing the alphabet song twice while trying to get every inch of your hands lathered.

@@KristiChan1 Same. I worked at a grocery store in 2020 so I saw a lot of ignorant people.
My favorite were those that tried, but had no idea what they were doing and would NOT take advice.
Example; We had a couple people-as in more than one in a town of ~900-that would wear latex gloves into the store fingering everything along the way including their faces. Then take the gloves off, sanitize their hands, and put the exact same gloves on, not even sanitizing the outside.
I tried to say something but they just could not make the connection that the glove itself might be dirty.
Edit; that was one of them, I just remembered what the other one said. They did believe the gloves were dirty, but it couldn't get him sick because it wasn't on his skin. Then he itched his nose with his middle finger and walked off. Lol. Idiot
You forgot the nails step!!!
Make sure you get some lather in your palm and swipe your nails on it like it's a file, it helps get at what's under your nails.
Source: tried it with constantly grody nails due to a bad stimming habit that gets cloth fibers under there all the time, that gets the stuff stuck under there easier than picking it out with the tip of a nail file. 10 extra seconds on each hand but it's worth it for making sure your nails are not hosting icky germs.
@@jeremyblade7561 My condolences you had to deal with the public during that time. I've heard some really awful stories about the treatment of workers.
Speaking of incomprehension, I think the one that makes me facepalm the most is when someone wears a mask, but then pull it down to sneeze. How are people so stupid?!
I haven't seen anyone else taking about this, but Michigan recently passed a law that protects LGBTQ+ people from being discriminated against. They also managed to keep religious loopholes that would allow further discrimination out of it too! I'm so proud of my home state :3❤
Really!? I live in Michigan too, holy fuck I love it here. ❤
What was the law?
I had a 7 yo look at me one time, interrupt my conversation with his older sibling, and say 'some boys are girls and some girls are boys. And sometimes girls have penises.' ME AND HIS SIBLING WERE SHOCKED- both of us are trans to a degree- But we weren't even talking about that- he just said it out of nowhere
See, kids can understand. Now if only we could get the adults on board.
@@mirandarensberger6919The kids are smarter than the adults💀💀💀💀
Kids are so weird sometimes I love them 😂
i'm trans and when i was a teacher, kids would blurt stuff like that out to me somewhat frequently. i would also have kids explain what being trans was me which was always very endearing. perhaps most endearing though was a kiddo who after I mentioned I was a girl scout growing up even though I'm a boy now was like "so...I could be a girl scout too if I wanted? or a princess?" of course!
Kids are wonderfully weird sometimes, it's awesome
My mum asked me when I came out (for about the tenth time) what effects testosterone would have on me. We were in a public place so I didn't want to go too into detail so I said "you know what testosterone does" and she looked at me like she really didn't. It's slightly concerning that an adult knows nothing about some very basic hormones
that goes to show how sex education needs an incentive for politicians to mandate
You're not a male, so you shouldn't take it
"It makes me very hungry" was something I heard once from a t-guy

i've always been baffled by single-stall restrooms that are still gendered. even as a young kid my mom would encourage me to just use whichever one was open as it didn't matter since they were single-stall. i also do love that more *explictly* gender neutral single-stall restrooms are opening up, but i would love to see more gender neutral multi-stall restrooms. it's a pain when the one single-stall gender neutral restroom in the building is occupied (or when the only one is on the bottom floor and i'm on the top floor and i don't have a long enough break to go downstairs and come back) and i have to decide between waiting or swallowing my pride and going in the women's.
I love multistall gender neutral bathroom
My workplace keeps doing that. Anytime they repaint the stalls and put up the new sign it is gendered again. It could just be "urinary" "toilet" and "wheelchair-accessible" especially since inside the exposotion they are nutral. No but next to the café they need to be gendered - I don't get it.
I wonder if there is a law that given a certain size of café there need to be binary options, cuz i remember that used to be a thing.
The weirdest thing to me is that healthy cis-men have come to us complaining that if they have to go number two, there's only the "accessible" option and since they are not disabled, they don't have a place to shit - like WHAT!?
The back rooms at my workplace have single stall bathrooms with gendered labels... but honestly literally nobody cares which one you use, I've seen men come out of the women's and women come out of the men's all the time.
I remember when people would hop into a single stall that wasn't assigned to their gender (in the binary sense) because the other one was occupied and they really needed to use the bathroom. And it wasn't a big deal! Only since tRump was on office did the non-issue snowball into what it is now.
Just work on the basis that using whatever toilet is less hassle for an establishment than it is to be cleaning up your mess, because you were waiting for the relevant toilet to be free
Saw that Sims 4 patch come down the other day, and lost my effing mind. FINALLY! Thank yo so much for all the positivity. You rock!
Next month, I'm getting the (probably) last bottom surgery I want. Then comes T, then comes name-change paperwork. Might be some serious thoughts about top surgery, although I may stick with binders because enby, and because surgery is haaaaard on the body. (Then again, so is dysphoria.)
yayyy hope u recover well from ur surgery !! and i hope alk goes well to start T and that the paperwork doesn't take too long to get through!!
Congrats! Take care of yourself after procedures and rest if you need
That's interesting. What made you choose that order, if you don't mind me asking? Most (if not all) of the trans people I've seen go hormones, top surgery, bottom surgery.
Hot take? But... Trans people go on hormones PRECISELY because they know the effects of hormones. That's why we want them, lmao! Thanks for this video, it's always delightful to hear your thoughts, Jamie!
Yeah. I mean, I imagine most trans people think "Yes! Those are exactly the changes I've been longing for!" Or at least most of them, nobody wants more butt hair.
@@conlon4332Saw a meme of some trans guys on r/traa I think it was
One of them said "I didn't transition to look good, I transitioned to look like Hank Hill and I fucking will"
Definetely not how it actually went but I think we should all strive just like him to be our best selves, whatever so may be.
FYI I'm pretty sure pride counselling is owned by better help who are shady af.
Yea some of the counselors on there are homophobic and try to talk the customers out of being openly gay. Also some aren't even licensed therapists

I am currently a trans minor in Tennessee, so life is really hard right now. Luckily my family is working hard to be able to get us to move to a less transphobic and bigoted state, but it's still really hard to just live right now. I'm also worried about all the trans kids who can't move and are much younger than me. Watching these videos helps keep my mind off how the govt. wants me dead, thank you.💙

As an artist who doesn't identify as trans, I enjoy watching videos like this so that I can educate myself and apply these things I learn to my trans ocs and represent people correctly and naturally within my worlds, one thing I've always known, is to just have any type of character, trans or otherwise, just be a person. They may be trans but that isn't their whole character or personality, people have depth and trans people are no exception. My roster of trans, enby and other lgbtqia+ characters has been growing over the past few years and they're some of my favourite ocs.
This is incredibly sweet. Thank you, you’re a good person.
you're telling me people are people?!??! this can't be real... /s
I'm joking here but I swear to god some idiots just can't get this simple statement through their 50cm thick steel reinforced skulls.
Gender neutral toilets have been around forever, people have just not cared until grifters convinced them they're an issue. My GP has two toilets, both gender neutral, same with my pneumologist. Small bakeries often only have one toilet. Again, nobody cared, ever.
I work on a food truck, and we park at a bar on the hipster side of town a couple days a week. As we're there about 24 hours in 2 day's time, we're all really familiar with the bar staff. Said bar has four bathrooms, all individual stalls, all behind their own door. The only way someone would see you in there is if you forgot to lock the door and someone walks in thinking the stall was vacant. Because of where the bar is located and their whole accepting vibe, they get a lot of traffic from trans people. So the bar owner had the idea to make every stall gender neutral, not only to help make some of their patrons feel more comfortable but also to help cut down on lines. They had up gender neutral signs for about a week, before the health department came by and said they couldn't do that. They were given no justification as to why it wasn't allowed. This is also in Tennessee, so I'm sure that clarifies things a bit. I hate that such a beautiful state is full of such ugly people. Just let people take a piss.
Would it be illegal for them to take all the signs off and leave the doors blank?
What if they just put it back
@@paulhammond6978 yep. Health dept. comes by and it's seen as a violation. They probably wouldn't get much more than fined, but it's still ridiculous. Like, you can have "family" bathrooms or whatever, but there also have to be clearly labeled male and female bathrooms.
omg i relate so much with the fit thing. When my friend came out as non-binary we were still in middleschool and you know, middleschool kids judge a lot based on looks and such. I was so embarrassed being seen with them when we were out together. I mean, yes I loved them and I supported them therefore I never told them about it but oh god that was so relatable-
The tampon thing could be fairly innocuous, honestly. Even if you don’t personally use them, it’s nice to have menstrual supplies on hand in case someone else ends up needing them.
(besides, there are…much more questionable things to find in that scenario)
Yep. I used cloth pads before evicting my uterus and you can't exactly share those so I kept some disposable products around just in case.
@@sallywright8065 ??? This happens to me a couple times a month. Granted, it's at a university where they usually provide menstrual products, except for a couple restrooms here and there that don't. Sometimes people forget which ones are which. Sometimes people get surprised, because biology doesn't always cooperate with tracking apps. You might not personally have experienced it, but that doesn't mean it's never happened to anyone ever.
@@sallywright8065 trans women imagine people unexpectedly needing period products? What??? What do trans women have to do with this?
@@sallywright8065 what doesn't happen?
I work at Timberland. A woman came in and looked at the soles of the classic timbs, and she said that they have “heels” which should only be “for women” and began to express how awful it is that we sell shoes for “transvestites.” 🤦♀️ It took me a moment to process that she said that, but also said it to ME of all people.
Should've told her the first heels were made for men, just to watch her brain melt.

Trying out your style as your coming out is important. I was able to find a consignment store with a $3 room. Everything was $3 or less and it was great to try out new things without spending tons of money. That is my biggest recommendation, find a second hand store, thrift shop or whatever and save that way. Once you find your style you can buy new stuff but before then just try different things.
I already have a style!
Darkness™️
No but, second hand shops are great in general, just not for finding awesome, cheap clothes, but all sorts of wondrous, shiny things.
Every queer friend need an old-school coffee grinder, mkay?
“Trans kids aren’t told what hormones would do to them” Yea and as a trans guy on birth control I wasn’t told what would happen but when I mentioned puberty blockers to my doc that was the most in depth conversation ever.
I started watching your videos at the very beginning of my ftm transition because it was reassuring to see another guy going through it (you'd just gotten bottom surgery!) And I appreciate your videos they're a reliable and relaxing spot in my subfeed
Very glad to see another positive Jammi video❤️❤️❤️ I’m working on 2 big assignments about transphobia for my uni classes and it’s been super draining. I need some wholesome positive vibes to counteract the amount of daily wire videos and state legislature I’ve consumed
What can you possibly find about "transphobia"? Essentially nobody is scared of a man in a dress. As for transgenders and LGBTQ as a whole, they're all hypocritical lunatics
Random trans celebration moment, I just got my name changed on my school email account! It's so amazing to not have to see my deadname every time I do homework, or worry about who I email anymore. Stay strong everyone.
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Woooooo hooooo!!! Congratulations!! That is epic!!!

@@ajparadise6649 Huh, of course it's Covid. Interesting to hear it's still going.
Recently i was at the movie theatre and i noticed that instead of having the man/woman bathroom signs, they just had an image of a urinal and a toilet where you sit down on. I thought it was a great solution. You're showing exactly what it is and everyone, regardless of their gender can just choose what type of toilet they want to use
Shit man I finna check out the women's bathroom, sounds like they'll let me in.
Just wanna point out the art in the thumbnail, "Don't want to see transsexuals? Pluck out your eyes" is by the trans artist Silas Denver Melville, known by the username sweatermuppets - he is an incredible artist and writer!!

I was shocked to see “GOOD trans anatomy” like… someone got it right?!?! 😂 since when
I absolutely LOVE how inclusive The Sims is. And they're adding MORE?? I am honestly impressed and incredibly happy to have so much representation in such a popular game.
Nah it's stupid
As a biologist, the reason none of us are shouting out against transpeople is because it's none of our damn business. Sex and gender are two different things. We deal with sex but you are expressing your gender. Gender is a topic for those social scientists and we don't want anything to do with people. Also there are so many queer biologists it's wonderful.
@@trevorchester4439 What misinformation?
@@trevorchester4439 Considering the fact that AFAB people have been shown to XY chromosomes, AMAB people being shown to have XY, and lots of people having other variants like XXX, XXY or even XYY, I would say the idea of it not being binary is fairly accurate.
@@trevorchester4439 Did you ignore 99% of my comment or some shit?
@@trevorchester4439 It means only two possible outcomes are possible.
@@trevorchester4439 in point of fact MJ is quite correct. There are multipossible chromosome combinations that are beyond just XY or XX. Which in fact means that sex is not a binary outcome. However there are a finite number of outcomes which means Sex is also not a spectrum within human biology. Additionally, many other organisms have a sex chromsonal combinations that lead to outcomes other than a binary male and female. Mammals sometimes experience combinations that lead to noreproductive adults, insects often times have multiple forms of male and females depending on their life cycles. Other organisms are hermaphroditic but express a more male or female phenotype. Other species their sex isnt chromosally dependent at all, it's based on environmental factors. Sometimes it's can be density dependent within that environment and they will shift back and fortg between male.and female based on the sex ratio. In anycase you're simply wrong and anyone with a basic grasp of biology should know that when you get too a chromosonal level the male female description of species breaks down. It breaks as a concept as you move out into fungi and plants as well. The point however remains, that a binary biological understanding of sex doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
My three year old cosine calls me him … I am a trans man and never told her to call me him when she was confronted about it she said “but he is a boy” and then explains to my parents and aunty that when someone is a boy she needs to call them he … I am so happy considering none of the grownups in my family take me seriously when I say I’m trans so having this little girl calling my him and thinking I’m generally a boy is honestly the best thing I’ve ever experienced it’s just like MMMM ✨gender✨

Transphobia? You mean people with working brains?
6:06 will you get a notification if your sim has a binder like: “___ has worn their binder for more than 6 hours! Take it off soon or else ___ will get back problems!”
you do not. the sims trans rep is, while better than nothing, utter garbage. your sims can look trans, they can’t be trans. they cant actually bind. they can use they/them but cant be non binary. they can have top surgery scars but they can’t get top surgery. its ass.
i love the sims. i was so happy to see that you can customize characters by who they have romantic interests in, including no one, anyone, and if they’re questioning. same with woohoo interests. you can also customize if they can pee standing up or sitting down, and if they can get pregnant or get others pregnant.
Love your content so much, I'm a young trans guy who recently came out to a few teachers and friends as noah. You and some other trans/trans allies on yt have helped me figure out who i am. I got outed to someone in my form who I definitely did not trust and my lifes been a bit rough.Some of my old friends didn't accept me but I do have some very accepting friends who are keeping me happy and I just wanna say thanks for ur videos.

Also does anyone have advice on how to come out to a large amount of people it would really help so I can tell people in the simplest and quickest of ways. Thanks for reading this whoever you are I hope your day/night is going well :)
In terms of the coming out thing, I got my friends to help spread the word and luckily my school doesn’t require legal names on the register so that helped too (ask any supportive teachers to call you by Noah and smart/supportive kids should catch on pretty quickly)
@@SunnyCress thanks! Im going to potentially tell my form tomorrow with a PowerPoint me and my best friend made but we just need a teachers permission.

The one thing I wasn't told would happen to my body when I transitioned was that when that specific growth happened it -ached-. Like, for a year, growing pains in that one really annoying, really specific, really unfortunate part of my body.
I had a friend (male with children) I was talking to about my laparoscopic hysterectomy with, and he was like "wait, how did they get it all out, then, if it's just the three tiny holes." and I was like "Um, you know there's a nice big hole down there, right?" And he looked at me like I was crazy for a good minute before it dawned on him that I had lady bits, not man bits. Dude had known me for, like, 5+ years pre-transition, and 6 months in had already forgotten I wasn't amab. Which... honestly just kinda points to me having only been in the closet to myself for a huge chunk of that time.

You can choose seperately:
Gender male/female (i forgot if they added a third?)
Pronouns he/she (i forgot if they added they?)
Physical shape male/female (and then change it to look more ambiguous if you like)
Clothing preference masculine/feminine (but basically, you can wear whatever you like)
Using Bathroom: sits to pee/can pee standing up
Fertility: can get pregnant / can get others pregnant / neither
It's pretty awesome!
And ofc gets better with nice mods!
Sims added a they/them as well as a way to add custom pronouns for people who use neos

People who argue against gender neutral toilets: Do you have sex-separated bathrooms in your house.
No but I also don't share that bathroom with strangers 😳 or with anyone else but myself.
Stupid argument.
@@johnthumble5154 Scared about toilet cooties? That's the level of reasoning I expect from right winger. It's so cute when you things try to imitate humans.
@@tjenadonn6158 strawman argument 🥱 next.
@@tjenadonn6158 and you liked your own comment 😂
I got my first binder today and i’m so happy :D
I can relate with the standing off hair because I’m mtf and growing it out atm
There's always the disheveled phase when growing out hair from really short. I have multiple "cow licks" so it's uh, always interesting to see what my hair does when I grow it out lol.
I recently went to a public bathroom and a tourist asked me wich ones were for males and for females (there was writing in my native language on the doors). It felt so good to say 'both' cause the writing was just about the decor in each toilet😂 i love gender neutral bathrooms
I love positive stuff c:
And I also love the hair dwiddly 😌
Thanks for an amazing video Jamie! You actually over the years have taught me more about trans people than I used to know. And also inspired me to actually go look into things more deeply myself. I just wanted to share that yes, I used to be transphobic due to ignorance, but ended up reading all of the studies you list during some of your videos and they helped me realise my views were wrong. I've been spending the last year advocating for trans rights in my Church in Australia, and although it's a slow progress, the Church now will at least use people's correct names and pronouns when asked, even though they don't believe in the reality of someone having the wrong assigned gender at birth. It was also in the comment section of one of your own videos that I came to realise I was genderfuild, and that has been a huge relief.
So thank you so much Jamie for doing what you're doing!
