I always wonder how those "making the tomboys become trans men" people react when they hear about trans women who are tomboys.
Probably by claiming they aren't 'really trans' because the only view trans people through a weird lens where trans people have the same idea about gender presentation that transphobes do.
It's so annoying because those same people don't want adult women to be tomboys. 99.9% of media expects a tomboy to grow out of it and treat it as a phase or treat her as a self hating woman. I can't really think of adult tomboys who are present in popular media.
They probably think we're lying to gain access to women's spaces.
Well, not probably. That's just what they already say about our entire existence.
or us trans men who were, is and will be always fem
@@Stargazer_Ley have you heard of Amber from F(x). She is an adult tomboy and a good Singer.
im so confused, how do people think that women just have an extra rib? like, that's not bad trans anatomy that's just bad women's anatomy
It's some religious idea. It was invented because of when God took a rib from Adam in Genesis to make Eve. It's not even true lmao
People in "ye olden days" had some very strange ideas about human anatomy
Because of Adam... because when your dad breaks his nose, you're born with a broken nose too.
Interestingly some people do have have extra rib, but that's a mutation.
Simple- someone decided it was true, then all the idiots fed information to eachother in a feedback loop until they forgot anything was *actually* true and lived fully within their fantasy world
@@sagenaw7137 It is not even the full passage. In the verses prior it says that God created humans in His image, as man and woman. I'm a progressive Christian, I happily acknowledge that the book of Genesis was written a very long time ago and that most of it is meant metaphorically. Not literally. Even the story of Jona is basically an allegory for the coming of Jesus.
I once had someone tell me "cis" means "transgender" and I laughed for like 5 minutes
I'm honestly impressed how that even happened. Cis folks are a real experience
Oof ... That would have been painful for me to hear. The explanation, not the laugh. I fucking would have laughed with you
Someone tried to genuinely debate me on trans topics and really thought he knew what he was talking about, told me trans youth shouldn’t exist, then didn’t know the word “cis” or “cisgender.” Smh
@@chancematters it's always the people with the least actual knowledge that have the strongest opinions it's quite astounding
@@Fuchswinter i swear all transphobes suffer from the dunning kruger effect
During transition, people develop an exoskeleton???!!! Wow, what other secrets are the trans community keeping? 🤣
We also have the ability to become eggs and become super humans because of hormones.
I know after taking hormones I can now fly like superman and run faster than my dad getting milk when I was born
@@lakamokolaka I can't wait to get hormones to be able to fly!!!!
Well now I’m just mad cuz I want an exoskeleton
We are also dragons
Well, we also have plans to brainwash the cows in the dairy industry into only producing chocolate milk. Theoretically, this should throw the world of chocolate into chaos, giving us the chance to pull off the biggest Nesquik heist that's ever been done.
Fun fact: a female platypus doesn't have nipples! They actually "sweat" milk out of their skin!
damn so that phineas and ferb episode was right
Perrryyyyyyyy
I have to say itagain, Australia is insane.
ew.
Those animals are really interesting. Wtf! 😅
As a trans woman, I can confirm that we actually do develop exoskeletons! Right around the 3 month mark, when breasts start to bud, so does the exoskeleton! If you don't see trans women's exoskeletons, it's cause we hide it! But get to know us better, and we might show you!
I’ve been hiding mine for a while, but it really helps for protection!
Yes! Mine's been only forming tiny spikes on my back, but it's getting there!
Uh, there was a girl I liked and I wanted to get closer, thanks for making me think twice! I can't stand invertebrates!
@@gianniavido2289 I know, they are so spineless.
That sounds like some weird version of guyver
One of my friends was born with an extra rib. It's actually a serious medical problem. Your body is designed so that your ribs match up with your spine, otherwise it strains muscles and nerves and can lead to serious long-term problems, like pinched nerves which if left untreated can lead to total loss of use of your arm. She had to have major surgery to correct it. For eight weeks she had to wear a contraption that held her right arm straight out at the shoulder until everything thing healed. So no, women don't have an extra rib.
Theres non-serious ones too, my grandmother has a spare one too.
She is the only TRUE female then. All real women have spinal problems😄
@@Tycoondashie i'm not sure if mine is extra, but i have two fused ribs. no problems because of it either, I only found out because they saw it in an x-ray
As someone with extra ribs- can confirm. It’s hell.
Exactly, like the body is made the same between males and females and even intersex except for some minor differences + different reproductive organs / major hormones. Like you can’t tell me that a few more percent muscle is a major difference that differentiates males and females so much that transgender people can’t exist
So anyone with ovaries, even cis women, will lose their humanity when they go through menopause? Huh. You learn something new every day I guess.
Technically all women do not even have the humanity in the first place, because our bodies do not produce eggs, we are born with the total number of eggs we will ever have, unlike men who can produce sperm.
Unless producing them within the fetus development state counts as "producing" them?
My grandmother on her way to turn into an eldritch monstoristy
Made someones head explode when they claimed it was a womb that made a woman a woman and a penis a man, and I pointed out that meant that anyone who went through menopause became by definition non-binary.
The conflict on their fact, not wanting to change their point but also not wanting to acknowledge nonbinary folk. It was lovely.
Yeah my moms head goes backwards now wild
misoginy...
Jamie: "Do YOU lay eggs?"
Me, sweating profusely in my exoskeleton: "N-noooo!? I'm fully, 100 percent human! I do not lay eggs ever! Particularly not inside other organisms!"

As an AFAB non-binary person with MRKH, I don’t have a cervix or a vagina, and cannot carry children. Some of this rhetoric is so bad just for biological understanding! Intersex people exist. Thank you for making this video.
Whats mrkh??
@@imkingnoobuwu4326 It's a condition in which you are born without a fully formed vagina or uterus.
@@imkingnoobuwu4326 It's a condition where the internal parts of the female reproductive system are underdeveloped or completely absent. External anatomy is usually totally normal tho and the condition is not life threatening in any way
@@imkingnoobuwu4326 *Correction: I just went to PennMedicine's website and found out there is a rare form that causes abnormalities with vital organs. This form, MRKH type II, can be very bad and life threatening.
Thanks.
As someone whose gender identity literally was "tomboy" as a kid, I can confirm that not all tomboys want to transition into boys. Some of us are Agender and don't really get this whole gender thingie😅😂
As for ones body type being determined by genetalia... My shoulders and hips are literally the same size. I have broad shoulders for a woman, no chest and a regular hip size. In addition to that, I have slight colouring in my "mustache" and a few beard hairs grow out from time to time on my neck. I also have dark hair on my chest and belly - in other words, my body is just as confused about the binary some people insist on, as I am confused by it.
I was not really a tomboy, but often wished I was masculine enough to be one. Turns out I'm a queer man 😅
I was a tomboy and turned out to be an androgyne
I was a tomboy as a child. As teen I was a punk/goth, because I didn't want to be seen as a girl. As an adult I somehow become a 50's pin up girly girl... And I am bi... What next?
@@jackriver8385 I just really hated everything that was deemed "girly" except for princesses and skirts😂 I wasn't a particular masculine kid, but I was raised by a single dad, so maybe that's why I saw nothing wrong with being a tomboy 🤔?
That, and all those lovely tomboy characters of the 90'/00' cartoons!
@@ona512 Nice!
"Nobody is born with tits"
"Keep telling yourself that" LMAO
It feels the same as people saying “real men don’t have nipples.” Like… stop.
The idea that some people think that cis men don’t have nipples is an absolutely terrifying idea… especially if they are cis men and don’t realize they have nipples…. Yikes
@@alexverni self awareness?
Couldnt be
They must've never seen a newborn. It's so easily disproved.
It’s like when people say “born a man” like… I don’t know who had to give birth to a fully grown adult but ouch I do not envy their cooch
Fun Fact: The platypus is a monotreme, which is kind of a beta version of modern mammals from the Jurassic era roughly 220 million years ago, although most of them went extinct. Like echidnas, they are one of the few species of monotreme left on the planet, residing in Australia and New Guinea. Fossils of their ancient relatives have also been found in Antarctica and South America.
That's interesting
And to all those god boys and girls, they actually have multiple fossils (including what would be considered transitional fossils) showing the evolution of the platypus.
Another fun fact: Monotreme literally means one-hole (mono=one, treme=hole) which is in reference to their cloaca!
@@MirrimBlackfox that's so funny honestly
Yeah they’re the only mammals that can lay eggs!
I've been a "tomboy" my whole life. I'm Alaskan, and I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, etc. And have always been called a tomboy by others. I don't care about getting dirty(idk how that makes me a tomboy, but it's always brought up when I'm called a tomboy, so im mentioning it) and im definitely cis, theres never been a single time that i didnt identify with my birth sex. I think my interests have a lot more to do with the fact that my mom wasn't around a lot when I was growing up, so my 2 older brothers and dad raised me, so I grew up doing things they liked. Just because I have amazing aim with guns doesn't mean I'm trans, idk how people come to these conclusions.
Yeah and idk why they think any of us are saying that. My son loves wearing dresses and has consistently told me he's a boy. And I believe him when he tells me that. It's honestly that simple
Yeah, interests don’t have gender really. A lot of girls are interested in “masculine” stuff but don’t have access to it
As a trans girl who likes gaming, which is usually seen as a masculine trait, it's true. Liking videogames doesn't make me any less of a woman.
That is completely valid. Some tomboys identify as a different gender as their asab and some don't. The way I see it, tomboy is what society decides what we are, not what we feel we truly are.
Exactly. In contrast, I was and am a very feminine person, and I have transitioned to male.
I love when people say things like “science has proven it!“
Like… proof is a maths thing. Not a science thing. Nothing is “proven” through science. At best, it’s “demonstrated to be most likely true given the current evidence.” Its always subject to revision as new evidence comes along. Science is not written in stone.
You have to say "science proves it, because..."
Without a reason, it's just
"I am right because science"
And these are the same people who generally reject actual science on a regular basis.
Given how often I hear that phrase from antivaxxers, climate deniers, creationists, and pretty much every other form of conspiracy theorist, it doesn't mean much coming from transphobes either.
also like, science is a Thing You Do. It’s not some mysterious entity that whispers science facts in people’s ears every so often. It’s not an entity at all, you know?
Like if science ever “says” or “proves” something, it’s gonna be a scientist or a team writing a paper on a thing they did. Just a bunch of humans trying to science
This drives my science friend crazy too. He says science never PROVES anything, it only SUPPORTS theories/hypotheses/etc with data and evidence.
people really need to start understanding that gender expression (tomboy, feminine guy, etc) is separate from gender.
lots of people are gender nonconforming but not trans & lots of people are trans and gender nonconforming (masculine trans girls, any nonbinary person that isn't androgynous, etc etc) and those are all normal and valid gender expressions
There are only males and females. Gender expression does not matter.
As a cis femboy...
T H I S
can i have some advice? how do i dress like a tomboy with prominent recognizable female phenotypes?
some of these people think babies full on pop out wearing suits and dresses 🤘🙄
I mean, I popped out wearing a exo-suit and a loaded plasma rifle to fight on the war against the dark lord Rogosivicksa.
Someone read the myth of the birth of Athena and ran with it.
That last one had me like "oh, honey, you know therapy is a thing, right? That emotional abuse/internalized misogyny is not an excuse for bigotry, right?" Also, the rib thing being ScIeNcE makes me fear for y'all's education
There are large parts of the USA where the Bible is taught over Science, even in federally funded schools.
@@SevCaswell I always found that funny, since from where I am (Panamá, a country in LatinoAmérica, that, you know, is a continent known to be really catholic) catholic schools teach science and sex education. Even public schools teach basic biology.
@@lepetitmonster8737 Same here in Mexico, and iirc we're the second largest catholic percentage of population just behind the vatican. Of course, our public education has to be "secular, free and mandatory"... supposedly, in theory, just hypothetically speaking...
@@SevCaswell because creation is how the earth was made and not the big bang, and the chicken before the egg
but women *arent* born with an extra rib?
@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans nope there are no missing or extra ribs. Occasionally there are people born with an extra pair of ribs, but that is not sex dependent. Also if you belive that God created everything then why are there parasitic worms that can only live inside eyeballs? That seems like a very evil thing to create. Same for childhood cancer, only a truly evil entity could choose to inflct that on a child.
I used to think being transgender was your parts changing into the opposite sex without control. I was so freaking scared of that happening. But not here I am being pangender
Oh my god! Yep, I would have been scared too!
Me too. I was not scared though. Didn’t realize it was a normal thing to be scared? Egg moment 😳
My mom told me that too lol. I wasn’t scared of it though, just kind of thought “huh that’s weird” and moved on
If only…
As a trans person, I can in fact confirm that we are in the monotreme family with the rest of the egg laying mammals.
Yes. We lay our trans eggs in a nest until they're ready to become Adult Human Chickens
I'm glad we sorted that out. Australia leads, we all follow.
@@nukiradio mine didn’t become adult humans please help
I'll use that as an argument when I come out to my (relatively) transphobic mom, because platipi are her favorite animals 😂
@@enbyarchmage Platypus is Greek for broad foot. The "correct" form of plural is probably platypods, like octopods, tripods and monopods, but I have no idea what is normally used.
Just hear me out...
How could someone rip both of their Arms off? Say they did rip one arm off, how could they possibly rip off their other arm?
Not that *that* is the biggest concern out of all this horrible misinformation, but it is the thing I am going to focus on for now🤣
They’d have to… like step on it really hard and pull? Or get someone to help. Either way, accomplishing it before you pass out from blood loss from the other arm would be pretty impossible
I think the key to ripping both your arms off would be finding Jigsaw. He would probably help you.
My only idea would be like, maybe tying their wrists to a vehicle and ripping them off that way?? You'd need another person for that though so idk
Oh you silly people! Obviously you use your teeth! I bet you don't even know that to bite yourself on the nose you have to get up on a chair.
You can tell I'm giving this one all the serious consideration it deserves.
With their feet?
“Short.” I have so many women in my family who are 5’10” or taller that these people would FLIP THE EFF OUT if they saw a family photo.
Never show these guys the WNBA, the might have (obviously appropriate to their agab) heart attack
You are the reason I realized I was transgender lol. I thought that everyone just wanted to be the opposite gender
For whatever it may be worth, it was a surprise to find out that most people don't want to either change their gender or bounce between genders.
I remember being like 7 and starting to go through puberty. I was like shoot, I'd be a guy if I could choose. Same with me being aroace, I thought everyone was lying when they said that they had a crush. XD
I sort of figured that *every* cis woman resented her bits and wanted a penis. Then I learned that trans people existed... and still thought I was cis because I didn't identify male. I didn't sort out the whole 'nonbinary' thing until I was nearly thirty just because I didn't have the words. Hail, fellow hatched egg!
@@Trees... same about the ace thing! I can see the beauty in people. But I’m not attracted to anyone. I thought I was just too lazy to want a relationship 😂
Oh.. Heh.
Wait, so you mean not everyone wants to be the opposite gender sometimes?
"Only real women lay eggs"
Yet more fuel for the lizard people conspiracy
“mark zuckerburg secret trans lizard????”
To be fair, i have dry skin and it shed in summer like lizard sooooooooo ahem... *hide in the lizard cave*
As soon as you hatch from your egg you start shedding your skin and transcend the mortal world during pride month
Add the misunderstanding that some cis men turned out to have about us supposedly having a cloaca, wondering stuff like "how do you pee with a tampon in" or "What do you mean, you cannot control your period blood flow?". Soo we lay eggs and can't pee till we did? And then why do we bleed again? Uh...oh....yeah, no, not how any of that works.
The most jarring thing in this video is learning Jamie is 6'1. I always imagined you to be like 5'8 or something like you radiate short king energy
I’m sorry, 5’8 is *short?!!* Ffs I’m 5’3. That’s it. I’m stealing my friend’s platforms.
wait 5'8 is short
@@emeraldlily673- I wanna switch heights with you I hate being 6 feet tall
Okay maybe im just tall
5’8 is short???
"No human lays eggs!"
Speak for yourself.
I find it interesting that they missed out Greg Davies in the "all male British comedians are trans" conspiracy - because then they'd have to admit that an afab person could be 6'8" and not "short with wide hips"?
It's even funnier when you consider how many on that list are unabashed transphobes. Ricky Gervais is FTM trans? I'm sure that'll be news to him.
What got me was the addition of Ricky Gervais, who is notoriously transphobic.
This idea that all women are short with wide hips is pretty dumb. When I was in high school I went to classes with a girl who was 6'2". So yeah, that's a load of B.S.
Imagine thinking every woman is a short wide hipped baby factory with toy knobs on her chest 🤣
@@nukiradio I honestly can't imagine that.
My high school best friend was pretty wide, but she was also 6'4. When we were 14. And she was still growing.
@@thebestwillow Holy cow. That is a tall girl alright.

I am a trans man, and when I was doing sparring in the mens devision no one cared. But as soon as a trans woman wanted to enter in the woman’s devision, everyone was freaking out
Sorry for spelling errors lol
Right?! It only goes one way, and people have no idea what they’re talking about! Even in competitive sports where the result really matters! Transition seriously changes your body, and going on HRT is going to change your muscle mass and everything else. And if the advantage is *all in bone structure,* should we kick out everyone over a certain height or with certain bone structures for having unfair advantage?
Everyone was talking about the one trans woman swimmer recently, yea? Saying she had an unfair advantage… when she only won one competition. If she really had an advantage, wouldn’t she be winning everything? And it was also a very close win. Clearly, it’s fair enough.
tbf that at least fits their (terrible) logic it would make less sense if they did make a fuss about you fighting other men.
that's because you are a girl playing with boys. you are not a threat.
I had a discussion with one of my friends about trans people participating in professional sports but he was only bringing up transwoman. He had no argument for when I brought up the fact that I never heard anyone complain about transmen and I also couldn't find any articles about it, while they just immediately popped up when I researching if transwoman do actually have any advantages - which they do not have. It was an informative day lol
the difference is a biological woman wont crack a man's skull or win the national championship or whatever. at least when biological women compete with biological men, they put themselves at a disadvantage by choice. when a biological man competes against biological women, everybody else is at a disadvantage whether they are ok with it or not
I need to let my little brother know that he needs to pick up an exoskeleton for the summer. If it's like a mech-suit, it's got to be more comfortable than a binder, and it will let him be taller for pride.
The things I would do for a mech suit...
This made me giggle. Thank you for being a supportive sibling. ❤

Just have one with vents or he'll overheat.
The person at 4:37 isn't completely wrong, I mean, obviously hrt doesn't make your genitals fall off, but atrophy is a real thing that happens to many people.
testicular atrophy is kinda unavoidable and happens after a while on hrt. Basically, your body is just like" I already got my hormones why do I need these things?" So your balls start to shrink and may even retract back into the inguinal canal, which could give them the appearance of having disappeared.
Atrophy of the penis is a bit different and can be mitigated. Basically, if you don't get erections often enough, the stretchy tissue that lets the penis inflate becomes more tough and fibrous. This can happen to cis men but usually doesn't unless they are older, as morning erections while you sleep are usually enough to take care of that problem automatically. the reason it is easy to happen to trans women is the HRT keeps you from getting morning erections as easily, so to prevent atrophy you have to make a point to do it yourself.
Many trans women look forward to testicular atrophy because it makes tucking a lot easier, but as far penis atrophy, it can make erections painful and it gives surgeons less to work with if you are ever planing on getting bottom surgery, so people often try to avoid it.
Awesome science lesson for the day. Thank you for this educational information!
I found your comment interesting and thought I'd look into it but I could only see inclonclusive/mixed results. Mind if I ask where you found this information?

@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans The song "When Doves Cry" by Prince.
I think what the last person was trying to say is: "The word 'woman' can't be clearly defined, cause we are all so different from each other! The word is completely meaningless! Therefore, you identifying as a woman says nothing about yourself." Of course, they're tearing down all sorts of other things in their attempt to invalidate trans women. You could reply by asking a cis-woman: "Well what woman do *you* identify as, then? Oh, you identify as yourself? So do I!" Or "So, you insist that I'm still a man? Which man? Cause surely no two men are the same.
Not to mention its not uncommon to have trans goals and an idea of a more narrow, personal definition.
Probably one of my favorites was a friend who's trans goal was Jack Black.
2:22 i think you missed the bit where they say " you still can't grow an X chromosome", everyone has an X chromosome.
@@krimsonkatt i actually just did a research report on Klinefelter Syndrome, and it's possible to have XXXY. Essentially it's the typically trisomy - the X chromosome that should degenerate with the second polar body in meiosis II is present in the resulting zygote, but another X from the father. labeled as 48,XXXY and it results in a much more severe form of Klinefelter Syndrome. very fascinating topic.
that "trans to male" and "trans to female" thing reminded me of my stay at an inpatient facility early in my transition. I told the receptionist who was processing my induction paperwork I was a trans woman, and put female down as my gender, and when I was led into the unit it was mostly cis men. I believe they assumed I was a trans man or something, but that was honestly the worst week of life.
I am so sorry that happened to you. That's horrible.
got the birth sex question when i went to the doctor last week and i just thought wow that is so progressive... Because a lot of the 'biological sex' arguments refer to how medical stuff different between the sexes, but it's true that a lot has to do with hormones and/or stereotypes! doctors allowing you to keep your birth sex private is another show of that. they also asked if I menstruate or can get pregnant- even after i selected female! I should note that I live in a relatively conservative state, so even though I am cis, this sort of inclusion made me feel really happy. i am also a lesbian who doesn't love being defined as just someone with a uterus.
3:40
Thats my grandparents exact beliefs too. My brother (13) came out to them as trans ftm and they looked at him and told him to wait until he was 18 to actually decide if he wanted to be male.
He bursted out into tears and I was in absolute shock that they said that to him as our uncle (my aunts husband) is also ftm and yet they fully welcome him with compassion. (He’s an absolutely amazing guy and is 100x better then her ex-spouse)
My brother may be a pain sometimes with his extreme envy towards me but he’s still my younger brother and I still accept him and his decisions.
And plus he was also on the more Masculine side. Whether it was because he was raised by our lesbian¿ grandaunt or not
Sorry if this is an offensive question to ask a trans person... Do you have to reguarly shed you exoskeleton, or does it just happen the once when you initially transition like popping out of a cocooon with a body that matches your gender?
Also, do you keep your exoskelton or do you have to eat it to gain the nutrients you need to properly form your new one?
I think it depends on the type. Mine is obsidian so I just need to sharpen it and if it gets damaged my body repairs it. I believe those with the more common chitin exoskeleton do have to shed it regularly.
We have it from birth usually though it's soft at first, medical transition is rarely needed for it but it can help for some.
I've heard rumours of a trans person with a plutonium exoskeleton but I try not to think about it too much.
Usually you just break out of it like a cocoon. That's what happened to this one pal I knew. Anyway, she still has the egg tooth.
I did ask a friend but he said it must be a thing for trans women because all he got was the butt hair.
@@shadowman21282 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a trans women thing? But I'm nonbinary and I shed my mortal form entirely so I don't personally know much about all this physical body stuff.
I heard some transwoman grind up their shed exoskeletons and use it to make a smoky eye shadow.
I think that last one was like, "if you identify as a woman, which woman do you identify as/which women do you identify with that makes you think you're also a woman?" or something...? honestly they just defeated their own premise by saying no two women are alike, because doesn't that mean that the answer is NOBODY, the person is a woman unto herself and like no other woman?
good point
I am AFAB. Some people saw me as a girl. Some said I was a tomboy. Everyone assumed it was my duty, as a member of society, to marry, be a mother, and satisfy my husband’s every need or want.
I’m just me. I don’t even know what it would be like to have a gender. I did feel sexual attraction for about 5 minutes once in 1970. I am aro/ace and gender meh. Aro/aces aren’t even recognized by of lot of the LGBTQ+community. If they include A, it often means ally. We all matter, we are all valid. I would be so happy if gender and sexual preference became as accepted as eye color.
I’m a trans woman and I’ve been on HRT for 6 years. I have yet to grow an exoskeleton. I want a refund!

The plural of platypus is platypodes. Fun fact: men have mammary glands. Another fun fact: you can induce lactation in men. Last fun fact: that milk can be used to feed a baby.
It's only platypodes (my phone didn't even want me to type that) if you're a nerd. If you're a normal person, it's platypuses, or less commonly, platypi.
(Just messing with you. I'm a nerd, too.)
@@nyxx5357 Actually you're half-correct! Platypodes is correct because pluralizing greek roots with greek rules (you nerd!), platypuses is correct because it's constructed from loaned roots so it functions like a foreign loanword and can be pluralized with english rules (boring normal people do that).
I don't think platypi works yet because it hasn't entered common usage like octopi did... *yet* .

Sure but humans arent seahorses. Only women can get pregnant, There has never been a pregnant man. Trans men are still of the female sex and not the same as cis men. When a cis man gets pregenant it will be a man getting pregnant.

"An extra rib, from hormones?"
Tell me you don't know biology without telling me you don't know biology.
In the cis world, most people do assume that all trans men get "the operation", which gives them a fully functioning set of male genitalia (and that all trans women do similar, in reverse). It's hard to blame them for this misunderstanding, since it is rude to go around asking trans men you might know about their genitals, and trans men don't tend to go around talking about it a lot. But it might be helpful if popular trans men -- like you -- did bring up that topic once in a while, and explain that most trans men *don't* actually even get bottom surgery, mainly because there really aren't any great options for creating a fully functioning penis that would closely resemble a cis man's penis in appearance and size, for a trans man. There are various bottom surgeries that exist, and many trans men have one or more of them, but none of them have that outcome. Many -- probably most -- trans men make do with the changes they get from hormones alone, possibly with the enhancement of a small surgery to free the enlarged clitoris (which most, of course, prefer to not call by that name) so that it stands up (or sticks out, depending on your perspective) more.
It's very different for trans women. After bottom surgery, you can't even tell a trans woman's genitals ever had a male appearance. Of course, not all trans women have had bottom surgery, especially since it's expensive, and not all can afford it, or can afford it yet. But if they have, they do get genitals that look just like a cis woman's. She does have to do some work to maintain that surgery, at least at first. The brand new vagina will not be flexible or stretchy yet and will want to close, if left alone. The woman will need to use a set of devices in graduated sizes every day to gradually stretch and keep open her vagina. And she won't have the same lubricating glands that a cis woman has, so she'll need to use lube. But many cis women need extra lube, too, especially as they get older.
He has talked about ftm bottom surgery quite a bit in the past when he was in the process of getting it
@@ThatCatmeow True. I just mean, though, that it wouldn't hurt to come back to the subject every so often, just to keep the education going out, since the older those past videos get, the fewer people are going to find and watch them. Obviously the information does exist, if people want to go look and find it. But some people might not even realize that their assumptions need questioning. They think they already know. So, give people more chances to just come across the information, and more people will have better understanding, bit by bit.
I agree it's important to point out that many trans people aren't interested in / comfortable with / fortunate enough to get gender affirming surgeries - but also, there are many trans men who are happy with the results of theirs, and having genitalia that "passes" as cis is not always the goal. "Passing" in general is a problematic concept, suggesting every trans person should be clearly identifiable as a binary gendered person at first glance, and reinforcing the idea that anyone's gender in any culture requires visible cues.
Very true. I'm not considering bottom surgery (yet) because I want to see if the growth from T is enough for me. It does help that I am asexual, though. The ability to become physically intimate in the shape of being able to penetrate may be a deciding factor for some.
@@chillcreep4926 Yeah, like... TMI UNDERNEATH FOR ANATOMY STUFF.
I've seen results of the surgeries (phallo, metoidio, and both in sequence) and it WOULD look acceptable enough for me to feel comfortable most of the time with a phallo or metoidio+phallo but I know JUST enough about anatomy to feel like there's a better method out there that could be used by everting some stuff and growing some artificial structures using recellularization and lattices that are currently being tested for artificial lab-grown meats. Or just plain working more on cyborg prosthetics, either's good.
I'll probably get metoidioplasty because that doesn't interfere with future surgeries (it's literally just a few ligaments and I've got spare ones in my arms (I've got the "extra" ligament that humans are phasing out in both my arms))... But I don't really want a dick that looks real when implants are manual-only, since that'd make me feel more emasculated than just... not having any at all. I'd like to at LEAST be able to have erections without having to turn the dick on manually like it's just a fancy fleshy STP packer/strap-on combo. For other guys the current implants might be enough, but I've got a hard line of at least having some rough nervous interface so it's *my* dick and it has the same level of basic function (touch and reaction) as a standard one, be it organic or artificial.
I love the height ones... AFAB and 5'10", generally have to shop in the men's department for anything to fit my shoulders since women's clothing is too narrow (never mind inseam for trousers...).
Ya know what, screw it. Not sure if it's technically possible to be gender apathetic and non-binary, but I think I've had it with the binaries at the least.
Right?? I don’t have size issues like that (actually I shop a lot in the kids department cause I’m smol) but I’m getting really sick of gender. Can we just abolish it?!
(Answering your question: yes! It is possible to be gender apathetic and non-binary. Non-binary is whatever you decide it means to you, it just means thats it isn't one of the binaries 100%)
I just read "apathetic and non-binary" and was like yeah, I felt that.
Re: "gender apathetic and non-binary" -- that's the attitude of a lot of agender people; though there are others who're emphatically "leave me out of it [gender]" instead of apathetic
5'6" and not done growing! Hopefully I'll be taller than 5'8".

The Vagina Museum is VERY trans inclusive and I really love them! They've had multiple pile-ons from transphobes on Twitter because they're super vocal about trans rights.
Yes, having an exoskeleton actually does influence your blood pressure and circulatory system, but that is very much not applicable to humans. It is actually very interesting, arthropoda don't have veins but use their exoskeleton to create blood pressure.
Huh, intresting
Honestly I wish I laid eggs, sounds like the ultimate power play, someone's harassing you and you just lay an egg out of nowhere, making them so uncomfortable they just leave.

The "extra rib" thing isn't even true at all, it's a complete myth!
This Is what happens when you pretend the bible is an education
@@nukiradio as a child i was thinking the other way around, that that tidbit in a biblie is supposed to explain why men have one pair of ribs less than women, you know how different legends existed as humans ideas why we have seasons or what are stars before the science figured that out, so I was very surprises when we learned how minimal is sexual dimorphism in humans is and that rip count is the same.
I'm going to start telling people that when trans men transition, the extra rib is converted into a penis, hence the term boner.

@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans no, rib count-wise we're all equal... unless some weird mutations or they had to be removed surgically for some reason.

As an X-ray tech, I can distinctly tell you that the majority of people have the same number of ribs, regardless of sex. I've seen thousands of sets. Not to mention how much skeletal anatomy I had to study. It's rare to see variations. I've seen more people have an extra vertebra than extra ribs, although once in a while those extra vertebrae have extra ribs attached to them.
so i’ve been told wrong? i was taught that all females had one extra rib, without fail. so an having extra rib is rare?
@@EmmaJohnsonShenanigans Yep, it is rare. And almost never just 1, if there's extra, there's usually 2, one on each side. Also, it's more common for men to have the extra, if they do, as they are usually taller and the ones who might have that extra vertebra to have them on. But again, it's rare in general.
@@WelcomeApathy that’s pretty interesting though
@@WelcomeApathy huh its weird cause i was taught that males had the extra ribs cause they didnt get pregnanyt and dont need that extra space for baby
@deriokoo1257 Hm, that is interesting, I haven't ran into that teaching. It is wrong, though. Same amount for both in the majority. The differences related to things like pregnancy are the pelvis and aren't that extreme, really. The pelvis is usually tilted a bit flatter in females, with a wider angle at the pubic symphysis, for example. Other than size and density and some of the pelvis, usually there aren't that many marked differences between male and female skeletons. The majority of adults all have the same amount of bones, 206. Variations other than sesamoid bones are fairly rare.
10:21 That reminds me if a quiz asking my gender the options where
A. Male
B. Female
C. Transgender Male
D. Transgender Female
I think they were actually confused on what "identifying" is. Like in their mind a trans woman is "still a man" and then they see one particular woman and think "hey, that's me".
At 8:04 it's called "transvestigation" and it's just as hilarious as it sounds. According to the conspiracy theorists, the majority of people on Earth are secretly trans, except them of course. In addition to taking gender stereotypes to ridiculous extremes, it also plays into a lot of misogynist and racist standards in terms of body type and attractiveness. You'd think that if 99% of people were trans, we might have equal rights by now.

I hatr this pun
Hi! *boops your nose*
At 7:08
I think that the way estrogen and testosterone react with the growth hormone can change how tall you, so if a 16 y/o trans boy started testosterone then they might be taller than they would be if they didn’t, since you don’t stop growing until you’re 25.
Then again, this is just my 14 y/o trans masculine logic and want to be more than 4’11”
I'm a cis woman, by the time I hit 14, I had stopped growing taller 😅 I got all the short genes in my family. And I have PCOS, so I do produce more testosterone than usual.
Hey, my afab trans masc friend is decently tall, and my amab trans fem friend has done no transition and is 5’4, so… A: height doesn’t matter, and B: I bet you’ll grow, don’t worry
I'm an 18 year old trans guy at 4'11, I started T at 13 but I was done getting taller by 12... I hope you do get taller if you'd like that, but it's okay to be short too. If it helps, 4'11 is short for any gender so it's not feminine it's just being travel sized
iirc the way you grow is kinda locked in from puberty (so even if you start T if you didn’t before puberty your bones will still stop growing when they would regardless), and so the only height change is like an inch for trans women when estrogen makes our cartilages shrink slightly
@@Alice-gr1kb I thought it was mostly pelvic tilt for young enough trans women (under 25 usually I think)

@@pyroteamfrankenjunior thank you! i feel like this gets ignored by people
Before any major medical procedure, they talk to the patients first. A lot. Especially things that will not be easily reversible, or are irreversible. They counsel before getting pregnant, hysterectomies, getting a nose job, getting breast implants, abortions, gastric sleeve, amputation (if they have time), prescribing/ending medication, all surgeries, all procedures... some procedures are simple, like getting blood drawn for a test, so it only takes a moment. Some are major, and will be discussed with the patient thoroughly about what they are going to do, what will happen, any major side effects, if it's permanent, make sure the patient is of sound mind, and make sure the patient isn't being coerced into it. If they don't counsel, or ignored signs of coercion, they can be sued.
Transphobe: Trans men are just tomboys!
*Me being a trans femboy*: Hmmmmmmmmmmm-
Hello fellow trans femboy :D
I'm new to being feminine tho (not new to the boy part- had to be very sure in that aspect before I could admit my feminine presentation interests)
I'm a femboy aswell whom is transgender. I rarely say I am transgender when saying I am a femboy
Also, tomboys feel woman in soul truly despite them being masculine, same goes for femboys but vice versa. Transgender men aren't tomboys, some of us are femboys and transgender.
@@odessawales m’yes very true
I was never considered a tomboy and hell I had a phase where I was very into pastel and pastel goth, although as time went on I realized that being a woman made me very unhappy. I was in a big state of denial though and was convinced that liking cute stuff and men meant I couldn't be a man. (Also I didn't want to be one of those girls that just fetishized gay men) Would a cis person pretend to be trans just to do that? IDK it sounds dumb and being trans is scary so the effort just to do that sounds like too much but that initially prevented me from starting my transition.
I had a crush on a guy recently that I was training with for a week before starting a new position at a new job but I'm not sure if he likes me, if he's straight, into men, or anything. We have different assigned shifts so I probably won't see him sadly. He was very funny though and didn't make me feel awkward about being trans.
Although I'm very happy that I'll be going to my first gender therapy appointment on Friday now that I'm out to my family! (Any advice would be good since I wanna start testosterone soon. I have Kaiser so hopefully they cover it.)
WOOOOOO! CONGRATS! holy shit tho that first paragraph was relatable. U valid even with the cutesy shit yo. Do what makes happy and it will still be you. Xoxo yo!
wow the first paragraph was literally me during 2020
Damn, maybe I should trans my gender to get an exoskeleton. Also, when Kafka turned into a bug, does that mean he’s actually trans? Fascinating.
And I think I figured out that last one. I guess that person thinks “identifying as” means “pretending to be”. Like when you’re a kid and you play pretend that you’re some character from a show. You obviously need a character to identify with. I think they just don’t understand that trans people ARE their gender and just themselves. I guess they think a trans man sees a cool guy on the street and goes “yep, I wanna be him”

4:38 Remember when "being a Tomboy" meant wanting to do anything but play quietly indoors while wearing your best dress? 🤣
I have a science education degree, and you would not BELIEVE the amount of people who think women and men don't have the same number of ribs. The vast number of students I've had who think men have one fewer rib than women is insane. Like, I remember learning this as a small child, too, so it's clearly something being taught. But it's such a funny misconception, and even funnier that people are using it to go, "Ha, you're not a real man/woman because of how many ribs you have, idiot!"
Oh wow, Jamie - did not realise that pee changed smell when a person transitions?! It’s this kind of amazing golden nugget that is so interesting! Thank you for sharing 😊
Smell in general shifts (including all the various fluids smelling more like the cis version) for transition, which is neat AF to know.

The plural of platypus is actually neither platypuses or platypi. Strictly speaking, the correct plural form is platypodes. The other two are more commonly used and with either everyone will know what you mean, but they're both technically incorrect. Platypi is especially wrong since it applies latin rules to a word with greek origins, so that's probably why they didn't use it.
The same is true of the octopus, actually. Octopodes is correct but rarely used, Octopuses is acceptable and the most popular term but technically incorrect, Octopi is commonly used but a grammatical abomination.
Mirriam-Webster has an article and a video on the octopus and the plurals and which is grammatically correct, and the answer is all three for three different reasons:
Octopodes is correct because it's the greek plural and octopus is made of greek roots.
Octopuses is correct because it's an english word despite its loaned roots, and thus can be pluralized with english rules (that actually holds for all foreign loanwords, too-- they can pluralize in their own language AND in english).
Octopi is correct because it's entered common usage, the same as any made-up word can become a valid english word, like "gunsel" was.
From the same logic, platypodes and platypuses are also correct but I don't think platypi has entered into common usage yet so it's the only incorrect form.
The thing with trans to male and trans to female 😡😡😡😡 you see this in social work language here in the States. I’ve had to correct language and educate people at every level. But most people are just trying to do their best and are willing to be educated and change the way they use language. And then there are those who purposely misgender as a slur and will never change 😡 I love your wholesome look at this type of content and your take on things Jamie 🥰 it really makes me feel better about the state of the world right now
I'm pretty sure the last one is trying to make the point of "women are not united by any one trait or set of traits" (except, in their view, the typical AFAB physiological configuration). To be a woman is not to be feminine, or emotional, or whatever that person's mother or grandmother is like; it's just (read the following in a mocking tone) the experience of the female sex. So, since women are not a monolith, you can't identify with the concept of being a woman, which means you must identify with a specific woman, right? They're not confused, it's a petulant way to imply that trans women, by virtue of identifying as women without having the lived experience of an AFAB person, have oversimplified what it means to be a woman into traditional gender roles.
Unfortunately, I think TERFs, besides not understanding the biological factors of gender as it relates to sex, have a misconception about trans people's relationship with gender. TERFs believe that gender is a social construct, which I agree with. However, they take that concept and go "gender is a social construct and trans people are so stuck on gender roles that we can't move forward in society" when the reality is "gender is a social construct but it massively affects one's everyday life, as social constructs often do, so trans people adapted the best way they could, which involved conforming to gender roles." Between the biological and social reality of their situations, this was generally the best way to get what they needed to live happily and authentically. I want to talk more about the biological needs of trans healthcare to emphasize that this isn't even just about ~comfort~ and ~identity~, though frankly with how important those things are to mental health I think they should be respected in their own right, but I don't know enough about it off the top of my head and don't really have the energy to research.
Yeah, this is how I interpreted that last one too, but much better put than I would have!
I feel like that last post was trying to say something along the lines of, "only an 'authentic' (cis)woman can feel like a woman, so a trans person 'feeling like a woman' is just playing make-believe and can only steal authentic experiences from 'real' (cis)women." Which is an ugly concept, I know, but I think that's what the OP intended. I just want to know who died and made them the judge and arbiter of the "authentic woman experience?"
2:22 --> also, according to basic biology in middle school, all humans have an X chromosome (at least one) so yeah
