This was of your most informative videos, and I truly hope that this video opens people's eyes. I so enjoy the way I feel after I watch your videos. Share all your videos with Facebook friends, who I might add, are mostly supported by transwomen. Thank you for being you!
@@oddreviews7645 You do realize lgbt people are born lgbt, meaning right now their are over 108.7 million lgbt children in the world. 21.7 million of which are trans kids.
I work at a vet hospital. A well-known phenomenon in vet med is pets who do better with women/owners who believe their pet to have been abused based on their response towards men. The transphobic comments that my trans woman coworker gets are wild. A recent client, wearing pride flag accessories, told her she was uncomfortable with her handling her pet (due to pet being better with women) because coworker "is not a complete woman." She went on to say coworker should "work harder to present as more female." It's totally messed up. A guy client yesterday called her "sir," noticed he messed up, muttered about "uh oh, I think 'he's' offended." I talked to the client as he checked out, he technically apologized, but made it clear he barely wanted to refer to my coworker as a human being much less her preferred gender, and emphasized what a hassle "all this woke stuff" is for him. I told him, "it's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them." He looked at me like I slapped him. I'll never get how he justifies all the effort it takes for him to be that relentlessly transphobic, when learning to use a new pronoun is so much less effort. For the record, pets don't care what's in your pants or on your birth certificate. If pets do sense hormones, a trans woman has higher estrogen than most cis women. But from experience, even pets who prefer one gender to another, mostly respond to attitude and demeanor. I've had "women only" pets that do fine with 6 ft+ bearded cis men because they have good body language and emotional awareness.
My parents adopted a dog who was very nervous around my dad at first, probably because of this. But we worked with her, chummed her with treats and fun one-on-one time, and helped her become much more comfortable with tall AMAB people. People can help their pets recover from and deal with trauma. And you're right about relaxed body language and emotional awareness. Unless the dog was actively showing more stress toward your coworker than present AFABs, Ms. Pride Merch was just using her dog as an excuse to be an asshole. I hope your coworker's doing well. Glad you're supporting her. The other client may not become a better person, but he knows people around her will not put up with his shitty behavior, and will hopefully act accordingly. That's important.
Even though your final paragraph is both valid morally and most likely scientifically _(I’m saying “most likely” as I’m not a biologist of any sort, and my base urge is to word myself in such a way that I still have “a way out” in case I’m wrong, even though I know a claim is correct),_ I still love “gender euphoric because of homophobic pet” jokes. I find them hysterical.
I'm a cis woman and whenever my trans girlfriend gets misgendered, I go "oh I'm so sorry, I'm actually a woman, I know it's an easy mistake to make!" I'm a masc lesbian and get misgendered myself sometimes 😂
It's so weird and gross when cis/straight people project human societal biases onto animals and children. And they *we* are the ones "forcing" things. lol
I really don't understand these people. When I was four (born in 1992) I told my mother that I wanted to be a man when I got as tall as my dad (never happened by the way). She proceeded to explain to me how I could actually make that happen. I am a cis-woman. I did not transition just because my mother explained to me how to do so. Information does not make you trans.
@ninjawizard3865 the only historical cases of indoctrination of gender identities have been indoctrination into traditional heteronormative gender binary. The practice also doesn't work, in either direction. Homosexuality and transgender identities still persisted. Why would heterosexuality or cisgender identities be any more malleable
@@ninjawizard3865 Scientifically speaking, no, it won't. The only study I can think of that tried to actively force a test of it, which was terribly unethical, resulted in showing that trying to force someone to be a gender they're not (in this case, a cis male raised as female after a surgery accident if my memory serves), causes the same depression/gender dysphoria/etc. issues. While that's not a large sample size, as trying to indoctrinate someone into being a gender they aren't is super unethical so we don't try to do it for purposes of experiments, the fact that in the one case it was tried it failed, and the fact that trans people can often figure out that something is, in some way, wrong, or even that they're specifically trans (even if they don't know the word), even in social situations where they're denied access to information about trans people... No, indoctrination doesn't seem to have that ability.
@@ninjawizard3865 we’ve actually seen that it won’t there’s an old study on a child who had a failed circumcision, they made him live as a woman and nobody told him anything except he was a girl. He still detransitioned and even took his own life if I recall correctly
The reason there was boys and girls chess was because boys were taught chess earlier and girls weren't. It wasn't lady-like for a girl to be playing a cerebral game like chess. So girls were excluded from playing in a competitive way. Then when they were allowed to play it was only allowed separately because "what if they beat a boy 😲😱. Can't have some upstart girl beating out men who would have placed higher if it weren't for her. And obviously she didn't win because of her skill it was because the boys were distracted by her feminine wiles." We would have hoped to have gotten past that by now but there's still people who think that way. A lot of sports don't need to be gendered.
I saw a news post about DARTS. Professional Darts. And people were defending a woman pulling out against a Trans woman... IN DARTS. And they were crying "biological advantage!!" And "Good for her standing up for women!" ... FOR. DARTS?! Like last I checked it's mostly hand-eye coordination. Strength just makes the dart hit the board faster. Which I would sooner consider a disadvantage? Or at best, irrelevant? Maybe I'm just poorly educated on professional darts. Also I looked at the picture of the two and couldn't tell which one was which if that tells you anything.
@@kaelin_cherise Those people never gave a damn about fairness to women, and they don't give a damn now. They just want an excuse to be bigoted. Anything they say about how "unfair it is" for a trans person to participate in a woman's sport is lying through their teeth. They just want a reason to vocally spew bigotry towards trans people. That's all there is to it.
I thought I had read somewhere that the two divisions (and probably other sports/activities as well) were 'mens' and 'open'. And that the main reason for wanting the second division was partially because of the level of toxicity in the mens side.
@elaexplorer hot take here but in my honest opinion NO sports need to be gendered! The segregation should be based solely on merits directly relevant to the skill at hand and more importantly on actual performance statistics of the individual in said sport. We are currently segregating based on athletes' supposed potential according to their sex/gender which is what results in unnecessary handicaps and advantages, even without regard to trans inclusion! Eliminating gender from the equation all together and including any trans people who want to compete is actually the SOLUTION to the very thing transphobes are concerned about!!!
The tax thing baffles me so much. People apply the same logic to disability income. If not supporting society what the hell do you think you're paying taxes for!?
Also idk about France but here in the netherlands we have mandatory health insurance that costs a small fortune so most people still pay for their own healthcare, just spread out
The people who don't want taxes used for supporting society believe that taxes should only support the military and... hm... what other things that can hurt the people they don't like? Oh, roads and bridges also used to be something that those people thought taxes should be used for... but now they think of that as communism. So, those people, and we know who I'm talking about here [coughconservatives/republicanscough], they think taxes should only support the big throbbing dick of the military that they love to heterosexually suck all day long.
trans minor here, nobody is transitioning me! when i went to the gp they said that i might be able to get an appointment when i am 18 and the only thing until then is maybe i could get therapy. this is the reality
The medical profession is in somewhat of a bind. There is no real guidelines for what is best practise regarding this where minors are concerned. Offering you therapy is not in and of itself bad advice, it would help them and you find out if you are transgender or if your feelings are more a side effect of something else, but the utter state that is mental healthcare provision in the UK (you say GP so I'm assuming British) renders that worthless as a suggestion.
@Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs. GP just means general practitioner. I think it's a bit of a reach to guess where someone's from based on their use of GP or GC(P) But as someone from 🇺🇲 and who has watched Jamie for a while and seen the studies he's sited, I believe telling your GP, being referred to Therapy and when the minor comes of age, if therapy has proven they ARE trans, only then can they start a plan for whatever their transitions goal may entail. Hormones at 16, surgery after 18.
@@kaelin_cherise they really should stop doing that though... come on, put them on blockers first so they don't have to deal with their body poisoning itself at least, then take your time doing all of that psych stuff also OP: im so, so sorry! i would suggest looking at what local trans communities and gender clinics say rather than relying on your GP, GPs are notoriously bad at knowing about trans care
another trans minor here!! i cannot get access to hormones unless my parents consent to any of it, and i cannot get any surgeries legally till 18, and even then it is a loooooooooong process. this is my canadian reality, to add another respective
I'm a taxpayer in Canada, where quite a lot of gender affirming care is covered by our healthcare system. As far as I'm concerned, healthcare isn't only for saving lives, it's also for improving quality of life. I'm not only contributing to people's organ transplants and cancer treatments, I'm also contributing to their knee replacements and cataract surgeries. Gender affirming care is life improving (and can be life saving in indirect ways), so as far as I'm concerned, it's healthcare, and I'm happy to contribute to it.
If only you can get a doctor. I'm Canadian, and the last doctor I had told me that my suicidal ideation was a "phase" because perimenopause doesn't exist, and therefore, I couldn't have any more dysphoria than I had previously and if I've been able to cope my entire life (very poorly) I didn't need help. I no longer have a doctor and can't get a new one. I've kind of given up on ever feeling good with myself and in my own skin and try to just get through each day.
@cielvt noooooo im so sorry youre dealing with that. Yeah mental health care in Canada is awful. Unless you have money to go private, your only option is a GP, and they don't know wtf they're doing for mental health. I had a good psychiatrist when I lived in Edmonton, and it was covered under a program at the U of A hospital. But now I'm in Toronto and pretty much all I can do is maintain the progress I've made because my GP doesn't want to refer me to a government covered psych, and I don't have money to go private. My experience has mostly been similar to yours, it's almost impossible to find a doctor who will listen and take time to solve mental health issues. They just give you some excuse for why you don't really need it and move on. It's slowly improving, but while they get their shit together, people like you are left hanging 🥲
@suchnothing oh I'm so sorry to hear that too! I'm in ON too, and all we've heard for years is how much better Healthcare is in AB... but... the political climate, not so much. Not that we're doing much better here. I'm basically trying to self treat with supplements to keep the bandaid on. I'm also trying to convince my partner that it wouldn't be a waste of money to save for top surgery and go private for that. I hope you're doing well in the 6ix!
@@Ashleighh999 I dunno, there have been people who have gotten in trouble for saying things like that. They were kids talking about doing poorly on a test, for crying out loud.
I'm a cishet recently disabled bloke and I do cost my Swiss insurance a minimum of 20.000€ per year due to my disability. I need this care to keep functioning and as far as I'm concerned, gender affirming care is equally essential for a trans person to get the best quality of life they can get! To argue that "Oh, I saved for this amount of years for a trans person!" is stupid, since I've also worked for twenty years and I could argue I would have like to seen a vaccine for stupidity invented. I don't, by the way!
Hey. Swiss here too, and disabled and trans, lol. My disability is definitely more costly than me being trans. Over all of Switzerland I'm pretty sure gender affirming care is a minuscule portion of health care costs. But the main point is, exactly as you said: Everyone deserves health care. Period.
Then why do a lot of people off themselves several years after transitioning? It isn't life saving for most of them. It never addressed the underlying mental health conditions the person was dealing with, in the first place. So it isn't the pain of being trans, or everyone hates them, it's that they were never properly treated in the first place. Going to a "therapist" that just agrees with everything you tell them is not treatment.
@@anastasiae.5338 Suicide rates siginificantly drop after transitioning. Well being is significantly better after transitioning. Both according to studies. You're assuming that there is such a thing as an "underlying issue". There is not. There is a mismatch between gender and body and there is what is called "minority stress" aka getting bullied. While the minority stress remains, the constant pain of gender dysphoria is solved through transitioning.
@@anastasiae.5338 You don't think unaccepting people, discrimination and general negative attitudes towards trans people around them has anything to do with it? Because while transitioning does make life feel SO much better generally, the assholes around you are unfortunately a whole another can of worms you have to deal with once you are openly transitioning. You are right in that transitioning alone does not fix mental health issues and unhealthy coping mechanisms, but they're not an 'underlying issue', they're very often stemming from gender dysphoria, and transitioning makes healing from those things a whole lot easier _with_ help from therapy. Also, have you ever actually been to a good therapist? Affirming someone's gender identity does not, in fact, equate 'agreeing with everything you tell them'.
Personaly, I LOVE those gender neutral toilets. There are some at a restaurant I go to and it's great. No gap on the bottom, so no "surprise" kids looking at you from the other side doing your business (yes it happened to me one).
Gender neutral bathrooms are amazing! Actual decent stalls, both my husband and I could enter at the same time, continuing our conversation without interruptions or losing track while waiting for the other finishing their business xo I wish they were more common, I only seen some in one place I was visiting with him.
I dont even understand why bathrooms are gendered in the first place, like i get its to stop SA attacks, but whats stopping a creep from just ignoring the sign???
A poem inspired by Jamie and Shaaba: Trans people exist. Transphobia won't win. If you're a transphobe, Get in the bin. 👉🗑 Much love from across the pond. 🫶🇺🇲
Hey Jamie, I had an idea for a future video. I think you should consider making a video in collaboration with someone who has expertise on the topic covering the current state of LGBTQ+ legislature in the EU. It's not something I've seen others do, and it's very useful information particularly for your viewer base. I hope you'll consider this for a future video, and have a nice day, internet stranger! Edit: At the suggestion of some other commenters, I have changed the geographical area of interest from the US to the EU, as well as suggested a collab instead of an independent video.
@@Giuliana-w1f That works too. I just think it would be useful to a lot of people to have a guide to where they can feel safe to live, whether that be in the US or in the EU
11:05 THANK YOU so much for talking about the ACTUAL costs of transitioning, there's been so much fearmongering about how expensive it is, and unfortunately I have seen fears about costs change the choices of people who are considering transitioning. NO ONE should have to think 'can I afford it?' when thinking about necessary and sometimes life saving medical care
The cost would also deppend on where you live. For me, if i was trans, it would be totally free, and i'd require no more than just informed consent (that is how i think it should be). In the US, i've heard it can be really expensive, and requires "permission" from a therapist.
@@Giuliana-w1fin the state where I live (heavily Republican right-wing state), the model is 'informed consent'. This means that to get HRT, top surgery, or anything except genital reconfiguration surgery, you don't need a therapist involved at all. Having diagnoses can help make sure insurance pays their part of the cost, but it's not required at all. Your endocrinologist or surgeon or whatever, will only need to sit with you and explain what you can expect to happen, what risks are involved, etc., and then you can get your hormones or surgeries or whatever. So it's not like that in all of the US, fortunately. Even some really terrible places allow you to access medical care with very little gatekeeping. On the other hand, the individual cost is much higher here than in some other nations like yours.
To the transphobes out there... before you hate on trans people, perhaps wonder where so much of your hate comes from? Like Jamie said, unstuck your heads out of your arseholes!
@@flintlock985771 comments of yours complaining says otherwise Anti-trans bills say otherwise All the other transphobes that come here say otherwise The transphobes in these videos say otherwise You are just wrong
It is also reversable, but people forget that too. This is coming from an out and proud trans man who was convinced by my mother as a teenager that 'real' trans people are so rare that you would likely never meet one and that nonbinary people are 'just confused'. A combination of being hit like a truck with gender dysphoria, going to my first Pride events and going to college on an art course where basically a third of the people there are queer showed me otherwise. It is preventable and even if it happens can be reversed! Do not give up hope!
@@MisterMixxyBirthing person isn't erasing anyone and if a trans man would prefer that term that's great. But I'm a pregnant woman and a mother and that's how I'd like to be referred to 😊 it's not hard to respect everyone's preferences. Though it's trans men* who can get pregnant. Medically the distinction matters. The fact cis women and trans men are female is what allows us to give birth.
We aren't birthing people. We aren't womb owners. We aren't second class citizens that deserve objectionable labels. Stop being hateful to women. That's the basis of your philosophy is that women don't deserve our rights. Idiocy is thinking women need to go back to being slaves to men. That's what the agenda is pushing, that women have no right to our rights or to be safe and comfortable in our own places. It's misogyny. Which is the really stupid thing. The agenda is trying to erase us in any way possible. That's why we fight back. I know we have a lot of nerve caring about our own rights. It's really offensive to men that hate women to think we aren't just going to sit quietly and be marginalized so you can exploit us.
Yep. I remember an article about one of the earliest bathroom bans that had the legislators facing the consequences of their actions when a bunch of trans men (prepared with birth certificates) showed up at the public government building to use the women's bathroom. Apparently a bunch of women who worked there (including at least one who had direct involvement in the bill) were annoyed a bunch of big hairy men were in the bathroom with them. Security was called and, upon being shown birth certificates, couldn't kick them out. Like hmmm, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions.
I participated in a protest at the Governor's office against a trans bathroom bill. At one point, I had to use the bathroom, and asked a staffer where one was. He directed me to the men's room, which I used. Later, I wrote a letter to the governor, telling him that if he signed the bill in question, I will have committed a crime (since I was AFAB), and the staffer could arguably be charged as an accessory for telling me to use the men's room. We will see where that goes.
As far as taxes go, I would rather pay for things that help people physically and emotionally, to include trans surgeries, health care of all kinds, and housing for those who are without, than pay for endless wars.
Yep. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I saw something with budgets and how much things actually cost and something about 1% of the US military budget would cover all trans related care in the entire country for every trans person. Also that that the military spends more on Viagra than trans healthcare. So many people were doubting it because "but surgery is super expensive". Yeah, but you only get surgery once, well once per thing, it's not like you get top surgery every 2 years.
I used to be a janitor whose job it was to clean the bathrooms at a grocery store. I guarantee the floor is not sticky because of trans women pissing on the floor. Its sticky because of toddlers pissing on the floor, because of older women who have accidents, and because of women who insist on squatting over the toilet and then refuse to clean up afterward.
cis women piss all over public bathrooms, it drives me mad because IF EVERYONE SAT ON THE TOILET SEAT THERE COULD NEVER BE PISS ON IT TO NEED TO AVOID SITTING DOWN!!! and don’t get me started on the awful menstrual messes some people leave! i can assure you a trans woman was not the one who left the stall covered in blood with a tampon on the floor!
@@SakeShinobi97 that absolutely does happen yeah. I sometime had to go back over spots that were already cleaned because of people not using the correct amount of soap per water. Theres also the soap and water that get all over the floor from the sink - even if you shake your hands out before going to dry them, youre still gonna drip water on the ground, and thats where most of the footprints in the bathroom come from
I think the whole “birthing person” or other inclusive language means “erasing womanhood” is so strange. I’m reminded of how so many services/signs/bathrooms were (some still are) “mum and baby” with no equivalent for dads, meaning that habit/trend excluded fathers with children. Like no changing table in the men’s restroom for example. Using the word “parent” doesn’t erase women when it includes dads, it’s no different when including trans or non binary people.
You have to keep in mind that terfs are intrinsically sexist and resent womanhood. They define it entirely as being able to carry/raise children, no different than religious fundamentalists do. So when they see parenthood and reproductive language made gender neutral, they view this as”erasing women” because womanhood to them is defined as motherhood, or potential for motherhood. There’s also a particular irony in the fact that many terfs who accuse trans people of erasing women refer to themselves as “large gamete producers” or “adult human female” rather than women.
Yep, and even if someone is excluding/ignoring trans people, calling all pregnant people women means they are saying 4 year olds are women. Yes, that has unfortunately happened.
Also Is so hard for them to understand that: Birthing people: for trans and nb Birthing women: for... well, for women lol So I dont understand why they get mad?? Like- no body is excluding you
11:56 Hi french person here. Secu is short for Sécurité sociale, or social security, which is basically a national insurance service. Some of our taxes go to it, and if we're ever sick / out of job / etc, we can benefit from it. (idk about the amounts of money involved though, I'm a student I don't pay taxes yet)
This has been my transition process as a trans teen: -Cut my hair short (it's grown out some so it looks like a mullet right now) -Get a binder (it can cause permanent damage to ribs if you're not careful, but I'm being careful with it) -Wear clothes from the men's section (I get my older brother's hand me downs) -Come out to my doctors, and 5 people. Only 5 other people know. 4 of which are family members. I am in a family of 12. My doctors did not try to get me to transition. I was at the appointment for other reasons (anxiety med adjustments), and I mentioned being trans as a part of my anxiety. They recommended me a therapist that specializes in trauma and anxiety, and is trans friendly. My therapist has told me that while I can't change my body right now, a few years down the line I possibly can. She's also told me that if I come to the conclusion that I'm not trans, she will still support me. I'm not being pushed in any direction.
Exactly! Having the help / info available isn't pushing anyone in a particular direction. I started transitioning at 30, and even then, while I had access to the medical transition, nobody pushed me towards it. I had to voice the fact that I wanted to go on t. I had to voice the fact that I wanted top surgery. Nobody will force-feed you hormones or whatever just because you're gender questionning. @Milo-hp9fw best of luck on your journey, whatever form that might take.
That’s good, I just said about myself to someone else and realised I shouldn’t do that since everyone is different. As a tomboy, I would have been in this situation, but I grew out of it. But that doesn’t mean others do. You should do what makes you happy and comfortable. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
I feel like there's been an intense recent upsurge in transphobia lately, it makes me extremely anxious and scared for the future. The amount of hateful commentary and blatant anti-trans rhetoric across social media lately frightens and saddens me deeply.
it seems like usually people pick a group of people to primarily focus their hate on, which then for a while grows and grows and grows, untill eventually reaching a max point and then slowly lowering again (though not entirely disappearing for a long time) as they switch to another group to focus on. it has happened with sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. all of those still exist of course, but they have passed the worst peak and are slowly getting less. it seems trans people are the current primary target and we are building up to that peak. i think in 10-20 years from now transphobia will hopefully be a lot less, though unfortunately another group will probably become a primary target, then another, etc
@@MinerBat “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever. [...] And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon.

I see it too. Across the board, divisiveness is intensifying - the "us vs. them" mentality, fueled in large part by people believing that everything their favorite podcast bro or televangelist or whichever unqualified-but-speaks-with-conviction-so-they-must-be-right source tells them is true, and it gets regurgitated over and over until it's just accepted as fact. Not once among the many times I've asked for a citation/source of a questionable 'fact'/statistic has one been provided, just crickets (hopefully that means they did do some research and figured out they'd been misled; I don't ask unless I've done some research myself that indicates their claim is flat-out wrong or lacks any valid evidence to support it). It's concerning how it's becoming more acceptable to outwardly express any incendiary and dangerous view one may have, including the desire to eliminate other people whom they view as 'different'; it saddens and frightens me as well. I believe in free speech, but that doesn't guarantee freedom from consequences. It's like the pendulum is swinging away from tolerance, away from "reaching across the aisle". History has shown us the atrocities we are capable of when people jump on a bandwagon of fear and hate without questioning the veracity or the implications of the toxic rhetoric they're supporting and spreading, and it usually doesn't end well. Yet I remain hopeful that the "culture wars" (well, all wars) will end in peace or at least a truce, without resulting in extensive collateral damage.
What gets me is the people who will scream about how evil it is to indoctrinate children are the same people who will howl and scream that children need to be in church. They're actually perfectly fine with indoctrinating kids as long as it's their preferred indoctrination.
they're so mad at the idea of their tax money going towards helping trans people, but imagine if they were denied healthcare because someone ideologically disagreed with treating them for something lol
In the US, viagra is generally covered by a health plan, even though impotence is NOT a life-threatening condition. What it does is affect the psychological well-being of those with the condition, and can quite accurately be called gender-affirming care. How does that differ from gender-affirming hormone treatment?
do you count austerity measures as an ideology? a lot of people mad about trans care already have faced a loss of their own benefits, they’re just not clever enough to realize it’s all the same thing and is bad for everyone
That post about a g-c woman not wanting to use a unisex toilet made me fume. As a disabled cis-woman, I've had to use tiny toilets with neither period-product machines nor sanitary bins, risked bladder infections because I can't find a usable toilet when out in public, and have had to change clothes in the open air because of a lack of accessible changing spaces. She needs to check her privilege big-time.
It’s just like when trans women were being banned from chess tournaments and the transpobes justified it by saying “ Real Women have smaller brains and are bad at chess because they’re stupid.” These people hate trans women so much, they have to resort to blatant misogyny.
The person talking about "birth giving" and "eviscerating womens rights".... women's rights surrounding reproductive health care IS at risk, and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANS PEOPLE?!?!
A note from someone in America on why people are super upset about gender neutral toilets: Here in America, public restroom stalls often are very easy to see into and get into. The doors go from about head height to knee height, with a huge gap by the floor that it’s easy to crawl under. And in many cases, the restrooms aren’t maintained well, so the locks often don’t work or don’t hold tight. It’s very easy for creeps to spy on people or get into stalls. I’ve seen stuff like that in the news on tv before. Why aren’t things better maintained or made with better quality? Because no one wants to spend money to fix them up or make them well to begin with. And once the restrooms are made, nobody wants to clean them or take care of them. It’s seen as an awful job no one wants to do. My aunt worked a hardware store and her coworkers refused to clean the restroom and made her do it despite her having disabilities that make it impossible for her to clean all of it without assistance. I can’t speak for in other countries, but where I’m from people don’t like the idea of gender neutral restrooms because they’re not safe and private as it is right now. But of course no one wants to spend the money to fix them up and make them ok. There used to be a lot of family restrooms in malls and stuff, which are basically a small room with one toilet, a sink, and a changing station for babies. These have a door that fully closes. But people don’t like to build these, because it’s a huge waste of space. If we brought these back in new buildings and made them gender neutral restrooms I really doubt people would have a huge issue. They wouldn’t even need to be labeled as gender neutral if people have a problem with that term. Just call them family restroom like they used to be called and anyone who needs a gender neutral restroom would have one. Personally, I’ve used gender neutral restrooms that are like the first kind I described and I’ve never had a problem with them. All I’ve ever seen people do is use the restroom and then leave. Sure there might be people who would abuse the system, but they’re not trans people. The only news stories I’ve seen on tv of people getting hurt in restrooms was when a cishet man did something to a woman. I know people personally who are scared to death that a cishet man will dress up as a woman and go into restrooms to hurt people. I don’t get it at all. Trans people are wonderful people who just want to live their lives and be happy. Not that there couldn’t be an awful trans person, but I’ve never met one. On the contrary, I’ve met plenty of cishet men who went on to commit acts of violence towards men. Just my random thoughts on the topic. Idk how other people feel. For context: my family is super transphobic/homophobic/racist so I deal with these sorts of arguments all the time. No matter how many facts I have, they trust their own made up facts in their head over real scientific evidence and research. I even have some people in my family who openly don’t believe in science and scientific research. It’s awful to be around.
Happy almost-pride! The best weapon I have against transphobia, as a transwoman, is the fact that I’m genuinely happy in a loving relationship with an incredibly supportive group of friends and family, secure in my body for the first time. They want me miserable but I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Thanks for the content, great stuff as always!
@@ServalSign yeah, whenever someone pulls that argument I do something similar, only I pull the “my dad is in the room with me, as we speak (true right now), and I’m bi/pansexual, so uhh…” comeback. ALWAYS, without fail, shuts them right up.
Happy almost pride!!! As a trans man with a wonderful group of friends and family, I could not agree more! (And i may have daddy issues, but that is completely separate from my identity lmfao)
Every single person who has ever used a port-o-potty has used a gender-neutral bathroom. Can you imagine people boycotting them? Would be hilarious, actually.
I caught a transphobe today!!!! It was soo fun!! It was actually towards a Non-Binary person, but they were also a transphobe. I replied to a tweet fancasting the actor that played Dane in the new Fallout show as Morph in a live action X-Men since they are non binary. I thought they were way too smouldering and model esc, so I fan-casted a different NB actor and the guy was like 'her!' to all these posts. And then after arguing, I said 'its okay to find them attractive, you dont have to keep calling them woman just because you like them' AND THE PERSON ADMITTED THEY FOUND THE ACTOR ATTRACTIVE!!!! Like my point was made and proved!! Ive never actually been involved with one of these people actually admitting theyer being hateful because of their own mixed feelings and questioning themselves. That and a Jamie video, we are LIVING today!
In France, the Sénat passed a motion to forbidd the access of hormone blocker for trans teenager only…I can’t with my country anymore. But thanks for being here Jamie, you bring us joy and hope for the futur. I would love to see you during a European tour one day :’))
I live in Western Australia and quite a few years ago now a little girl where we were living was a victim of SA and murder in the women’s toilets at a shopping mall because her older brother waited outside for her, not knowing there was a adult, male child predator already waiting inside. The attacker was not trans or LGBTQ+ in any way, yet he easily accessed the women’s bathroom, I’m sure this isn’t the only time it happened in the world, and if anyone else was in there at the time I’m sure he wouldn’t have been able to do that. Those kids should’ve been safe to use either of the gendered bathrooms, really all public toilets should be unisex, the disabled toilets are and nobody has a problem with that. It’s so sad and disgusting that people use the victims of these crimes to justify their own behaviour.
Saying trans women should be barred from sports because they have a "biological advantage" is like saying that tall people should be barred from basketball for the same reason.
Not Just that but a Studie comissened by The olympic comitee has found Out that trans Woman have tend to have a disadvantage in Sports. Not to say that even If they Had a slight Advantage it's okay to ban them, you are 100% right. Just to add that transphobes have even less of a Point there.
I want you to think about what you just said. I am a transsexual and I never participate in boy sports. Why? Because in shot put, they are throwing 11meters. I am throwing 8. That is just our basic biological difference.
Not Just that but a Study commissioned by The olympic committee Shows that trans-woman might even be in a disadvantage. So the phobes have even less of a Point there. Funny how they ignore actual Data and Research yet Claim to have science on their Side xD
Dude, I had no idea what trans even was until I was like... probably 13/14. I had been wanting to be called Jason and hated the idea that I was made to be a girl since I was a little kid. Gender ideology didn't change me- I was trans forever. In fact, being told what being trans was from an early age would have saved me a lot of heartache and self-hatred because I would have realized early as opposed to my late twenties that I was trans and could have accepted myself earlier on as opposed to thinking I was just a really butch lesbian and not fully recognizing myself. People who say they are protecting kids are really just hurting them. We aren't trying to "trans" cis kids, we're trying to save trans kids.
I'm for abolishment of any gender/sex/whatever split in sports. Just people competing. People of similar physical attributes AND similar skill will end up competing with each other, naturally. The concept of "Women Sports" was born out of necessity, as women (of all kinds) were deemed "unsuitable" to compete in anything, save for maybe poetry and knitting. Like chess - female league was established to give essentially a whole legion of relatively new and unexperienced players a space to be serious about it. But now that any sane person will agree that any person can attempt any sport and it's none of our business, having that split is unneccessary, or even harmful.
The gay erasure by trans people caught me off guard... I remember when someone who I'd got to know as a lesbian woman (in a relationship with a bisexual woman) bravely announced very publicly that he realised he's in fact a trans man and I later jokingly said to him in private "so you're straight after all" and he looked at me in shock and yelled "Oh my god you're right! I've GOT to tell my girlfriend!" I found that very cute, and even though in this case a gay identity might have been "erased" it was still right, semantically. He's a guy, attracted entirely to women. But maybe this just shows that we should abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love.
@calamityjean1525 I'm glad someone agrees. These things can turn so complicated and there's never anything gained from it. I know a bloke who always considered himself straight because he just never fancied anyone with a penis. But now he's with a trans girl, and though he regards her as a woma, of course, she does still have a penis, so he there were considerations of whether he might rather be called bi or pan (or maybe demi?) before realising he just didn't fucking care as long as they're happy together.
I've found that this can actually be touchy in relationships. I know a couple in a traditional hetero marriage, and when the "wife" transitioned, his partner had to adjust to being socially perceived as being in a gay relationship. Luckily, it was not a problem for them. But I also know of a lesbian couple, who after one transitioned, found it distressing to be perceived as straight and sometimes they felt excluded from the lesbian community. We SHOULD "abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love." But sometimes, rightly or wrongly, gender can define one's sense of membership in a community.
For the internal testicle one: I guess that means everyone who is fairly healthy and/or has never had a full abdominal scan (can’t use X-rays) doesn’t know their gender. Because I know despite several doctors appointments and ER visits I have never had an abdominal scan nor a chromosome test so I guess I am the shrodinger gender?
It's actually more complicated than that. A penis and a clitoris are essentially the same tissue, just with developmental differences, and the same is true of ovaries versus testicles. And development can be weird! Emily Quinn (Ted talk here on CZcams) is intersex; as she says in her talk, she has both a vagina and (internal) balls. And despite having XY chromosomes, she is not a man. Being intersex to one extent or another is actually not at all uncommon.
@@viverra exactly! People think sex (going to ignore gender) is so black and white but that’s only because so few people actually “know” what their sex is because it’s assumed based on external characteristics rather than actual imaging or genetic/chromosomal studies.
Booked my flight and accommodations to the Netherlands last week. Very happy to know the transphobes will be boycotting it so I don't have to deal with them while I'm there 🤣
Indocrinate? No, they misspelled Endocrinate!!! (Forcing Endocrines on them.) 😛 Also, as a born Intersex person (genetic condition), my response to the ones who say there is only 2 genders/sexes, "OK, I exist. So, no. There's definitely more than 2, and it's more of a spectrum than a sorting into houses." 😘
(2:50) I do like that the act is written neutrally. We know it's to protect LGBTQ+, but it also protects straights too, since straight is also a sexual orientation. It does not, as far as I can see, protect atheists, and there's vagueness if it protects cis-people. But this can still be a good thing to highlight, that this act isn't specifically saying homo or bi, but all sexual orientations including hereto/straight. This to show that this isn't for supremacy but for equality.
Goodness, does this make me glad that even when I was homophobic and transphobic, I mainly kept it to myself, unless asked (which is still very problematic!). I am grateful 1) I was raised with the belief that hate is not ok and that the division of church and state is (generally) a good thing and 2) a friend asked me to go educate myself and listen to people's experiences - thank you! :) To anyone in the position I was a couple of years ago: Please go do some research and listen to voices like Jamie's. Take all arguments with an open mind and form your own opinion! :) Anyway, ... Thanks for another great video, Jamie! I'll just hit "comment". 😅
Can you make a short of just the one where the woman was confused because corporate said their trans male co-worker had to use the women's rest room? I want to be able to send that link to every transphobe who is focused on not letting trans women into women's bathrooms!
If people are mad that women don't like their breasts, and i know many female presenting women who don't like their breasts, can we take a step back and look at how we think AND SPEAK about breasts? There's a lot of harassment out there that needs stopping. This won't fix gender dysphoria, but it will make life easier for everyone.
"It is biotechnological warfare in drag, like a multiheaded hydra" my brothers, sisters, and nonbinary siblings in Gay, how did they know? Who leaked the trans hydra creation project that I'm working on?
Fun fact, one time I was replying under (might have been Elon's tweet) a twitter comment that argued that the term "cisgender" is always a slur...explaining why it's not...and Elon Musk actually liked my reply...I don't know if his hand slipped...or he had a change of mind....we will never know... :DDD
I spent a bit over 7 years in a US federal prison for sex offenders (over 80% of the population of the prison were there for a sex offence). It housed around 1000 inmates at a time, and with turnover of people leaving and new people arriving I can't give an exact number, but I can say with absolute certainty that I met over 2000 inmates over this period. Out of that over 2000, there were a total of 4 transgender people if you include me (I was identifying as cis at the time but have learned otherwise since). The number of non-white inmates wasn't much higher, maybe a dozen or so. That leaves the vast majority of sex offenders in the US as, you guessed it: cis, white, men. If you're curious, I can't give exact numbers on hetero vs. homosexual, things get a bit fuzzy for people in prisons, but straight was still an obvious majority.
Australian here, I don’t receive financial help for my gender affirming surgery as it’s considered ‘cosmetic’ HOWEVER in order to access it, I need to be essentially diagnosed as transgender. Like excuse me, its it cosmetic or medical then because I certainly don’t need a referral to get any other cosmetic treatment done.
Woman: I feel uncomfortable that this transman is in here Me: Oh look if it isn't the consequences of your own actions & also know you know how trans people feel when they're forced into spaces based on the sex they were born as instead of being able to go into the spaces based on their gender identity Like if a person regardless of their gender wanted to be a creep they're going to be a creep. Most people who aren't creeps just want to use the toilet & go about their day
Even without showing their name, i somehow can guess who the terf attacking Caster Semenya is. There is one famous terf in particular that has an unhealthy hatred of intersex women as well as trans women.
Yesterday, I quit a podcast because the creator is transphobic and had the audacity to accuse me of being judgmental for calling him out on constantly misgendering me and acting like it wasn’t an issue. In case anyone wants to know, it’s the Agape Freedom podcast.

I have cancer. I have now had two different surgeries, the second of which required almost 2 weeks in hospital, and begun a year of immunotherapy in a specialist cancer care center. I have nurses coming into my home to change dressings, physio, and adaptive equipment I need while I regain mobility provided free of charge. Without these interventions, I still had a 70% chance of surviving the next decade, and I probably would have had fairly decent quality of life for most or even all of that, and yet I don't think you could find anyone in the UK who'd argue that treating me is not a good use of NHS money. And yet providing puberty blockers to kids and medical transition to older teens and adults isn't considered a worthwhile use of that same money, even though their survival odds are, in many cases, worse than mine. It's insane. And so horrificially cruel. (Mind you, people also say the same shit about chronic illnesses and long-term disabilities, so despite the fact that every person on earth who doesn't die tragically young will be disabled during their lifetime, so if people can't even advocate for their own future selves, I don't know why I expected them to be capable of caring about other people!)
Oh, please wait. As someone who felt like that myself at your age. I came into myself as I got older. I just don’t want you to do anything that you might later regret. Just wait a few years, maybe. If you still feel the same. Go for it. I’m sorry I am putting my experiences on you, that is wrong. I guess it’s just up to you to make that choice.
That hydra is now my PC background. For clarity... I am a proud, open, vocal trans Sikh woman. Thank you transphobes for giving me one of the coolest backgrounds I have ever had on a pc!
Uhg as a trans woman who only found that out a few months ago, this sort of rhetoric nowadays has made me incredibly scared for my safety and well-being and possibly of living the life that would make me happy (I live in the southeastern US for context). I've been bi for years but now am practically lesbian; I'm still coming to terms with that and have had some doubts about lesbians actually wanting me since I haven't medically transitioned and have barely socially transitioned yet. Still very much male-presenting :( These sort of views from transphobes are incredibly harmful and I really hope some positive change starts happening soon. I really appreciate the content you make Jamie, keep it up!
28:55 have you heard alongside Pool and Chess, Trans Women are also being bullied out of Beauty Pageants for the same reasons? Yeah, lets all soak in the dumb.
There’s also a hella bunch of trans phobia in esports. Yknow, pc games. And they were all like, “ha see trans women have an unfair advantage” when a team on an all women’s team won the international championship (and the trans woman got MVP). Despite the fact that one of the teams with two guys on it lost in like the first round.
To be fair, beauty pageants are kinda dumb in general. But I agree, excluding trans-women is extra stupid. Sexualizing and objectifying minors who compete in pageants: "I see nothing wrong with that." Trans-women competing in pageants: "Absolutely not!"
@@danielomar9712 I'm stumped...🤔 And as a bonus, it starts teaching the contestants at a young age that their only purpose is to look pretty, their only value is in their appearance, they only exist to be a desirable object, a commodity to be possessed, maybe even bought and sold... Definitely doesn't sound "groomer-ish", nope, not at all. Nothing to see here, folks; move along now.
I have won many many games of pool, where I was playing against a man, just like many many other women who play pool has. After all, it's hand eye coordination and a bit of strategy ,not physical strength
I love when Jamie pitch shifts his voice for a joke or for emphasis on how ridiculous the argument was, and doubly funny when he zooms in on his face while doing so. Adorably silly.
Oh, the Hydra ... It reminds me of the early D&D idea of dragons as being different metals/elements. So "Tiamat" the multi headed dragon was basically depicted as a shimmering rainbow of colors. Love this!
I mean, the whole bathroom thing is what i have been trying to say for YEARS! When I first heard about the whole bathroom bill, I was honestly confused and uneducated about what the terms Transman and Transwoman meant because I wasn't sure if it meant for example an afab person transitioning from female to male would call themselves a Transwoman or a Transman and vice versa but guess what? I learned. I educated myself. And when I educated myself I realized that the whole bathroom bill thing was ridiculous because they were asking people who look like Jamie to use the women's restroom and people who look like Luxeria to use the men's bathroom... And I knew that that's not what they wanted. They are just uneducated and haven't chosen to educate themselves.

So I just wanted to say, ty for making this video and all your other content, as I will probably be watching a lot more in the next few months haha
I never understanjd the complaint that gayness is undermined by trans people. Trans people are in everybody's dating pool regardless of sexual orientation so how has it become an example of some kind of homophobia???
the fact that some people think that trans people have the power to undermine sexuality itself is fantastic , sometimes I wish we were as powerful as transphobes think we are
they claim that young gay kids (especially young lesbians) are being forced to transition to "turn them straight" (as if someone straight & trans is less stigmatized than someone who is gay & cis)
It's because they think "they" are going to turn half of all of the lesbians of the planet into trans men, so then they will be hetero and there will be no lesbians left.
@@oreolaw9911 yep, like if trans people had 1% of the power transphobes think we have there wouldn't be multiple bills per day trying to restrict our rights to exist.
Oh no, not a French transphobe... So embarrassing... Secu is short for Sécurité Sociale which is the French equivalent of the NHS. And here, in good old France, our senate just voted against minors transitioning. So yes, lot of transphobia over here these days...
Reminds me of this tiktok where a woman talks to a tv host and says "Do you know what the number 1 cause of death is for pregnant people?" and he's like "Mothers, you mean mothers?" condiscendingly. My guy, I am a cis woman, as was my 'mother' however no one would call my 'mother' thatr. she birthed me. women who try to drown their children cannot be called mother. mother=/= pregnant person
God the way they used semantics that are supposedly in support of women in order to LITERALLY drown out a conversation of about the deaths of pregnant people, whom are mostly women... that's a perfect example of how facetious these people's claims of 'feminism' and 'defending women' are.
Reminds me of an instagram reel I saw where the woman speaking said "women AND uterus owners" and the comments had angry transphobes being like "why I am being reduced to my uterus?!" and "I won't be renamed to uterus owner," conveniently forgetting the part where the op said "**WOMEN** and uterus owners"

Trans man don’t have penis ! Impossible 😮
I work at a vet hospital. A well-known phenomenon in vet med is pets who do better with women/owners who believe their pet to have been abused based on their response towards men. The transphobic comments that my trans woman coworker gets are wild. A recent client, wearing pride flag accessories, told her she was uncomfortable with her handling her pet (due to pet being better with women) because coworker "is not a complete woman." She went on to say coworker should "work harder to present as more female." It's totally messed up. A guy client yesterday called her "sir," noticed he messed up, muttered about "uh oh, I think 'he's' offended." I talked to the client as he checked out, he technically apologized, but made it clear he barely wanted to refer to my coworker as a human being much less her preferred gender, and emphasized what a hassle "all this woke stuff" is for him. I told him, "it's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them." He looked at me like I slapped him. I'll never get how he justifies all the effort it takes for him to be that relentlessly transphobic, when learning to use a new pronoun is so much less effort.
For the record, pets don't care what's in your pants or on your birth certificate. If pets do sense hormones, a trans woman has higher estrogen than most cis women. But from experience, even pets who prefer one gender to another, mostly respond to attitude and demeanor. I've had "women only" pets that do fine with 6 ft+ bearded cis men because they have good body language and emotional awareness.
My parents adopted a dog who was very nervous around my dad at first, probably because of this. But we worked with her, chummed her with treats and fun one-on-one time, and helped her become much more comfortable with tall AMAB people. People can help their pets recover from and deal with trauma. And you're right about relaxed body language and emotional awareness. Unless the dog was actively showing more stress toward your coworker than present AFABs, Ms. Pride Merch was just using her dog as an excuse to be an asshole.
I hope your coworker's doing well. Glad you're supporting her. The other client may not become a better person, but he knows people around her will not put up with his shitty behavior, and will hopefully act accordingly. That's important.
Even though your final paragraph is both valid morally and most likely scientifically _(I’m saying “most likely” as I’m not a biologist of any sort, and my base urge is to word myself in such a way that I still have “a way out” in case I’m wrong, even though I know a claim is correct),_ I still love “gender euphoric because of homophobic pet” jokes. I find them hysterical.
I'm a cis woman and whenever my trans girlfriend gets misgendered, I go "oh I'm so sorry, I'm actually a woman, I know it's an easy mistake to make!" I'm a masc lesbian and get misgendered myself sometimes 😂
It's so weird and gross when cis/straight people project human societal biases onto animals and children. And they *we* are the ones "forcing" things. lol
@@amandasunshine2I love that for you two
I really don't understand these people. When I was four (born in 1992) I told my mother that I wanted to be a man when I got as tall as my dad (never happened by the way). She proceeded to explain to me how I could actually make that happen. I am a cis-woman. I did not transition just because my mother explained to me how to do so. Information does not make you trans.
Sounds like you had a wise mom
Ever heard of Covert Incest? Sounds you were a victim of it.
@ninjawizard3865 the only historical cases of indoctrination of gender identities have been indoctrination into traditional heteronormative gender binary. The practice also doesn't work, in either direction. Homosexuality and transgender identities still persisted. Why would heterosexuality or cisgender identities be any more malleable
@@ninjawizard3865 Scientifically speaking, no, it won't. The only study I can think of that tried to actively force a test of it, which was terribly unethical, resulted in showing that trying to force someone to be a gender they're not (in this case, a cis male raised as female after a surgery accident if my memory serves), causes the same depression/gender dysphoria/etc. issues.
While that's not a large sample size, as trying to indoctrinate someone into being a gender they aren't is super unethical so we don't try to do it for purposes of experiments, the fact that in the one case it was tried it failed, and the fact that trans people can often figure out that something is, in some way, wrong, or even that they're specifically trans (even if they don't know the word), even in social situations where they're denied access to information about trans people... No, indoctrination doesn't seem to have that ability.
@@ninjawizard3865 we’ve actually seen that it won’t there’s an old study on a child who had a failed circumcision, they made him live as a woman and nobody told him anything except he was a girl. He still detransitioned and even took his own life if I recall correctly
The reason there was boys and girls chess was because boys were taught chess earlier and girls weren't. It wasn't lady-like for a girl to be playing a cerebral game like chess. So girls were excluded from playing in a competitive way.
Then when they were allowed to play it was only allowed separately because "what if they beat a boy 😲😱. Can't have some upstart girl beating out men who would have placed higher if it weren't for her. And obviously she didn't win because of her skill it was because the boys were distracted by her feminine wiles."
We would have hoped to have gotten past that by now but there's still people who think that way. A lot of sports don't need to be gendered.
I saw a news post about DARTS. Professional Darts. And people were defending a woman pulling out against a Trans woman... IN DARTS. And they were crying "biological advantage!!" And "Good for her standing up for women!"
... FOR. DARTS?! Like last I checked it's mostly hand-eye coordination. Strength just makes the dart hit the board faster. Which I would sooner consider a disadvantage? Or at best, irrelevant? Maybe I'm just poorly educated on professional darts.
Also I looked at the picture of the two and couldn't tell which one was which if that tells you anything.
@@kaelin_cherise Those people never gave a damn about fairness to women, and they don't give a damn now. They just want an excuse to be bigoted. Anything they say about how "unfair it is" for a trans person to participate in a woman's sport is lying through their teeth. They just want a reason to vocally spew bigotry towards trans people. That's all there is to it.
I thought I had read somewhere that the two divisions (and probably other sports/activities as well) were 'mens' and 'open'. And that the main reason for wanting the second division was partially because of the level of toxicity in the mens side.
@elaexplorer hot take here but in my honest opinion NO sports need to be gendered! The segregation should be based solely on merits directly relevant to the skill at hand and more importantly on actual performance statistics of the individual in said sport. We are currently segregating based on athletes' supposed potential according to their sex/gender which is what results in unnecessary handicaps and advantages, even without regard to trans inclusion! Eliminating gender from the equation all together and including any trans people who want to compete is actually the SOLUTION to the very thing transphobes are concerned about!!!
@@calliemyersbuchanan6458 oh, I know. They could do like weight or height divisions if those are an issue
The tax thing baffles me so much. People apply the same logic to disability income. If not supporting society what the hell do you think you're paying taxes for!?
Also idk about France but here in the netherlands we have mandatory health insurance that costs a small fortune so most people still pay for their own healthcare, just spread out
@@ThatSpoonieTransGuy Was about to say that, do they think trans people don't pay taxes
@@fleonez6610 that too XD
The people who don't want taxes used for supporting society believe that taxes should only support the military and... hm... what other things that can hurt the people they don't like?
Oh, roads and bridges also used to be something that those people thought taxes should be used for... but now they think of that as communism.
So, those people, and we know who I'm talking about here [coughconservatives/republicanscough], they think taxes should only support the big throbbing dick of the military that they love to heterosexually suck all day long.
The same people also don't breathe a word about all the money that goes to military spending and wars of imperialism.
trans minor here, nobody is transitioning me! when i went to the gp they said that i might be able to get an appointment when i am 18 and the only thing until then is maybe i could get therapy. this is the reality
As a trans minor i wish someone would transition me, it would be quicker
The medical profession is in somewhat of a bind. There is no real guidelines for what is best practise regarding this where minors are concerned. Offering you therapy is not in and of itself bad advice, it would help them and you find out if you are transgender or if your feelings are more a side effect of something else, but the utter state that is mental healthcare provision in the UK (you say GP so I'm assuming British) renders that worthless as a suggestion.
@Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs. GP just means general practitioner. I think it's a bit of a reach to guess where someone's from based on their use of GP or GC(P)
But as someone from 🇺🇲 and who has watched Jamie for a while and seen the studies he's sited, I believe telling your GP, being referred to Therapy and when the minor comes of age, if therapy has proven they ARE trans, only then can they start a plan for whatever their transitions goal may entail. Hormones at 16, surgery after 18.
@@kaelin_cherise they really should stop doing that though... come on, put them on blockers first so they don't have to deal with their body poisoning itself at least, then take your time doing all of that psych stuff
also OP: im so, so sorry! i would suggest looking at what local trans communities and gender clinics say rather than relying on your GP, GPs are notoriously bad at knowing about trans care

I'm a taxpayer in Canada, where quite a lot of gender affirming care is covered by our healthcare system. As far as I'm concerned, healthcare isn't only for saving lives, it's also for improving quality of life. I'm not only contributing to people's organ transplants and cancer treatments, I'm also contributing to their knee replacements and cataract surgeries. Gender affirming care is life improving (and can be life saving in indirect ways), so as far as I'm concerned, it's healthcare, and I'm happy to contribute to it.
Absolutely. That’s so great. Really glad Canada isn’t like America. Everyone should be able to get healthcare. Weather they have money or not.
The Canadian system isn’t perfect, but still I will gladly contribute to the improvement of people’s lives!
If only you can get a doctor. I'm Canadian, and the last doctor I had told me that my suicidal ideation was a "phase" because perimenopause doesn't exist, and therefore, I couldn't have any more dysphoria than I had previously and if I've been able to cope my entire life (very poorly) I didn't need help. I no longer have a doctor and can't get a new one. I've kind of given up on ever feeling good with myself and in my own skin and try to just get through each day.
@cielvt noooooo im so sorry youre dealing with that. Yeah mental health care in Canada is awful. Unless you have money to go private, your only option is a GP, and they don't know wtf they're doing for mental health. I had a good psychiatrist when I lived in Edmonton, and it was covered under a program at the U of A hospital. But now I'm in Toronto and pretty much all I can do is maintain the progress I've made because my GP doesn't want to refer me to a government covered psych, and I don't have money to go private. My experience has mostly been similar to yours, it's almost impossible to find a doctor who will listen and take time to solve mental health issues. They just give you some excuse for why you don't really need it and move on. It's slowly improving, but while they get their shit together, people like you are left hanging 🥲
@suchnothing oh I'm so sorry to hear that too! I'm in ON too, and all we've heard for years is how much better Healthcare is in AB... but... the political climate, not so much. Not that we're doing much better here. I'm basically trying to self treat with supplements to keep the bandaid on. I'm also trying to convince my partner that it wouldn't be a waste of money to save for top surgery and go private for that. I hope you're doing well in the 6ix!

I'm a cishet recently disabled bloke and I do cost my Swiss insurance a minimum of 20.000€ per year due to my disability. I need this care to keep functioning and as far as I'm concerned, gender affirming care is equally essential for a trans person to get the best quality of life they can get! To argue that "Oh, I saved for this amount of years for a trans person!" is stupid, since I've also worked for twenty years and I could argue I would have like to seen a vaccine for stupidity invented. I don't, by the way!
Hey. Swiss here too, and disabled and trans, lol. My disability is definitely more costly than me being trans. Over all of Switzerland I'm pretty sure gender affirming care is a minuscule portion of health care costs. But the main point is, exactly as you said: Everyone deserves health care. Period.
@@sonnentausnest Exactly!
Then why do a lot of people off themselves several years after transitioning? It isn't life saving for most of them. It never addressed the underlying mental health conditions the person was dealing with, in the first place. So it isn't the pain of being trans, or everyone hates them, it's that they were never properly treated in the first place. Going to a "therapist" that just agrees with everything you tell them is not treatment.
@@anastasiae.5338 Suicide rates siginificantly drop after transitioning. Well being is significantly better after transitioning. Both according to studies.
You're assuming that there is such a thing as an "underlying issue". There is not. There is a mismatch between gender and body and there is what is called "minority stress" aka getting bullied. While the minority stress remains, the constant pain of gender dysphoria is solved through transitioning.
@@anastasiae.5338 You don't think unaccepting people, discrimination and general negative attitudes towards trans people around them has anything to do with it? Because while transitioning does make life feel SO much better generally, the assholes around you are unfortunately a whole another can of worms you have to deal with once you are openly transitioning. You are right in that transitioning alone does not fix mental health issues and unhealthy coping mechanisms, but they're not an 'underlying issue', they're very often stemming from gender dysphoria, and transitioning makes healing from those things a whole lot easier _with_ help from therapy. Also, have you ever actually been to a good therapist? Affirming someone's gender identity does not, in fact, equate 'agreeing with everything you tell them'.
Personaly, I LOVE those gender neutral toilets. There are some at a restaurant I go to and it's great. No gap on the bottom, so no "surprise" kids looking at you from the other side doing your business (yes it happened to me one).
IKR. Floor to ceiling stalls/ doors and gender neutral bathrooms should be the norm.
Gender neutral bathrooms are amazing!
Actual decent stalls, both my husband and I could enter at the same time, continuing our conversation without interruptions or losing track while waiting for the other finishing their business xo
I wish they were more common, I only seen some in one place I was visiting with him.
Most of the gender neutral bathrooms I've come across are single stall

11:05 THANK YOU so much for talking about the ACTUAL costs of transitioning, there's been so much fearmongering about how expensive it is, and unfortunately I have seen fears about costs change the choices of people who are considering transitioning. NO ONE should have to think 'can I afford it?' when thinking about necessary and sometimes life saving medical care
The cost would also deppend on where you live.
For me, if i was trans, it would be totally free, and i'd require no more than just informed consent (that is how i think it should be). In the US, i've heard it can be really expensive, and requires "permission" from a therapist.
@@Giuliana-w1fin the state where I live (heavily Republican right-wing state), the model is 'informed consent'. This means that to get HRT, top surgery, or anything except genital reconfiguration surgery, you don't need a therapist involved at all. Having diagnoses can help make sure insurance pays their part of the cost, but it's not required at all. Your endocrinologist or surgeon or whatever, will only need to sit with you and explain what you can expect to happen, what risks are involved, etc., and then you can get your hormones or surgeries or whatever.
So it's not like that in all of the US, fortunately. Even some really terrible places allow you to access medical care with very little gatekeeping. On the other hand, the individual cost is much higher here than in some other nations like yours.

Saying birthing person is "erasing women" is like saying mammal excludes primates. Just idiocy.
@@noteworthy__a3763 Yeah, and not all birthing people are women. Some are men, some are even nonbinary :)
@@MisterMixxyBirthing person isn't erasing anyone and if a trans man would prefer that term that's great. But I'm a pregnant woman and a mother and that's how I'd like to be referred to 😊 it's not hard to respect everyone's preferences. Though it's trans men* who can get pregnant. Medically the distinction matters. The fact cis women and trans men are female is what allows us to give birth.
We aren't birthing people. We aren't womb owners. We aren't second class citizens that deserve objectionable labels. Stop being hateful to women. That's the basis of your philosophy is that women don't deserve our rights. Idiocy is thinking women need to go back to being slaves to men.
That's what the agenda is pushing, that women have no right to our rights or to be safe and comfortable in our own places. It's misogyny. Which is the really stupid thing. The agenda is trying to erase us in any way possible. That's why we fight back.
I know we have a lot of nerve caring about our own rights. It's really offensive to men that hate women to think we aren't just going to sit quietly and be marginalized so you can exploit us.

@@MisterMixxy agreed

The one about the woman seeing a trans man in a woman's bathroom and being uncomfortable is really just "oh no! The consequences of my actions!"
Yep. I remember an article about one of the earliest bathroom bans that had the legislators facing the consequences of their actions when a bunch of trans men (prepared with birth certificates) showed up at the public government building to use the women's bathroom. Apparently a bunch of women who worked there (including at least one who had direct involvement in the bill) were annoyed a bunch of big hairy men were in the bathroom with them. Security was called and, upon being shown birth certificates, couldn't kick them out. Like hmmm, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions.
I participated in a protest at the Governor's office against a trans bathroom bill. At one point, I had to use the bathroom, and asked a staffer where one was. He directed me to the men's room, which I used. Later, I wrote a letter to the governor, telling him that if he signed the bill in question, I will have committed a crime (since I was AFAB), and the staffer could arguably be charged as an accessory for telling me to use the men's room. We will see where that goes.
@@viverra nice, hope it doesn't pass
As far as taxes go, I would rather pay for things that help people physically and emotionally, to include trans surgeries, health care of all kinds, and housing for those who are without, than pay for endless wars.
Yep. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I saw something with budgets and how much things actually cost and something about 1% of the US military budget would cover all trans related care in the entire country for every trans person. Also that that the military spends more on Viagra than trans healthcare. So many people were doubting it because "but surgery is super expensive". Yeah, but you only get surgery once, well once per thing, it's not like you get top surgery every 2 years.
I used to be a janitor whose job it was to clean the bathrooms at a grocery store. I guarantee the floor is not sticky because of trans women pissing on the floor. Its sticky because of toddlers pissing on the floor, because of older women who have accidents, and because of women who insist on squatting over the toilet and then refuse to clean up afterward.
Not to mention, it could also just be that the janitor accidentally used too much cleaning solution or the water started getting too dirty.
cis women piss all over public bathrooms, it drives me mad because IF EVERYONE SAT ON THE TOILET SEAT THERE COULD NEVER BE PISS ON IT TO NEED TO AVOID SITTING DOWN!!! and don’t get me started on the awful menstrual messes some people leave! i can assure you a trans woman was not the one who left the stall covered in blood with a tampon on the floor!
@@SakeShinobi97 that absolutely does happen yeah. I sometime had to go back over spots that were already cleaned because of people not using the correct amount of soap per water. Theres also the soap and water that get all over the floor from the sink - even if you shake your hands out before going to dry them, youre still gonna drip water on the ground, and thats where most of the footprints in the bathroom come from
I think the whole “birthing person” or other inclusive language means “erasing womanhood” is so strange. I’m reminded of how so many services/signs/bathrooms were (some still are) “mum and baby” with no equivalent for dads, meaning that habit/trend excluded fathers with children. Like no changing table in the men’s restroom for example. Using the word “parent” doesn’t erase women when it includes dads, it’s no different when including trans or non binary people.
Omg I hadn't thought about it like that but that's actually such a good point
You have to keep in mind that terfs are intrinsically sexist and resent womanhood. They define it entirely as being able to carry/raise children, no different than religious fundamentalists do. So when they see parenthood and reproductive language made gender neutral, they view this as”erasing women” because womanhood to them is defined as motherhood, or potential for motherhood. There’s also a particular irony in the fact that many terfs who accuse trans people of erasing women refer to themselves as “large gamete producers” or “adult human female” rather than women.
This!
Yep, and even if someone is excluding/ignoring trans people, calling all pregnant people women means they are saying 4 year olds are women. Yes, that has unfortunately happened.
Also
Is so hard for them to understand that:
Birthing people: for trans and nb
Birthing women: for... well, for women lol
So I dont understand why they get mad?? Like- no body is excluding you
11:56 Hi french person here. Secu is short for Sécurité sociale, or social security, which is basically a national insurance service. Some of our taxes go to it, and if we're ever sick / out of job / etc, we can benefit from it. (idk about the amounts of money involved though, I'm a student I don't pay taxes yet)
This! It's our healthcare system. A French equivalent to NHS for UK.
This has been my transition process as a trans teen:
-Cut my hair short (it's grown out some so it looks like a mullet right now)
-Get a binder (it can cause permanent damage to ribs if you're not careful, but I'm being careful with it)
-Wear clothes from the men's section (I get my older brother's hand me downs)
-Come out to my doctors, and 5 people. Only 5 other people know. 4 of which are family members. I am in a family of 12.
My doctors did not try to get me to transition. I was at the appointment for other reasons (anxiety med adjustments), and I mentioned being trans as a part of my anxiety. They recommended me a therapist that specializes in trauma and anxiety, and is trans friendly.
My therapist has told me that while I can't change my body right now, a few years down the line I possibly can. She's also told me that if I come to the conclusion that I'm not trans, she will still support me.
I'm not being pushed in any direction.
Exactly! Having the help / info available isn't pushing anyone in a particular direction. I started transitioning at 30, and even then, while I had access to the medical transition, nobody pushed me towards it. I had to voice the fact that I wanted to go on t. I had to voice the fact that I wanted top surgery. Nobody will force-feed you hormones or whatever just because you're gender questionning.
@Milo-hp9fw best of luck on your journey, whatever form that might take.
That’s good, I just said about myself to someone else and realised I shouldn’t do that since everyone is different. As a tomboy, I would have been in this situation, but I grew out of it. But that doesn’t mean others do. You should do what makes you happy and comfortable. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺

I feel like there's been an intense recent upsurge in transphobia lately, it makes me extremely anxious and scared for the future. The amount of hateful commentary and blatant anti-trans rhetoric across social media lately frightens and saddens me deeply.
it seems like usually people pick a group of people to primarily focus their hate on, which then for a while grows and grows and grows, untill eventually reaching a max point and then slowly lowering again (though not entirely disappearing for a long time) as they switch to another group to focus on. it has happened with sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. all of those still exist of course, but they have passed the worst peak and are slowly getting less.
it seems trans people are the current primary target and we are building up to that peak. i think in 10-20 years from now transphobia will hopefully be a lot less, though unfortunately another group will probably become a primary target, then another, etc

I see it too. Across the board, divisiveness is intensifying - the "us vs. them" mentality, fueled in large part by people believing that everything their favorite podcast bro or televangelist or whichever unqualified-but-speaks-with-conviction-so-they-must-be-right source tells them is true, and it gets regurgitated over and over until it's just accepted as fact. Not once among the many times I've asked for a citation/source of a questionable 'fact'/statistic has one been provided, just crickets (hopefully that means they did do some research and figured out they'd been misled; I don't ask unless I've done some research myself that indicates their claim is flat-out wrong or lacks any valid evidence to support it).
It's concerning how it's becoming more acceptable to outwardly express any incendiary and dangerous view one may have, including the desire to eliminate other people whom they view as 'different'; it saddens and frightens me as well. I believe in free speech, but that doesn't guarantee freedom from consequences. It's like the pendulum is swinging away from tolerance, away from "reaching across the aisle". History has shown us the atrocities we are capable of when people jump on a bandwagon of fear and hate without questioning the veracity or the implications of the toxic rhetoric they're supporting and spreading, and it usually doesn't end well. Yet I remain hopeful that the "culture wars" (well, all wars) will end in peace or at least a truce, without resulting in extensive collateral damage.
What gets me is the people who will scream about how evil it is to indoctrinate children are the same people who will howl and scream that children need to be in church.

In the US, viagra is generally covered by a health plan, even though impotence is NOT a life-threatening condition.

A note from someone in America on why people are super upset about gender neutral toilets:
Here in America, public restroom stalls often are very easy to see into and get into. The doors go from about head height to knee height, with a huge gap by the floor that it’s easy to crawl under. And in many cases, the restrooms aren’t maintained well, so the locks often don’t work or don’t hold tight. It’s very easy for creeps to spy on people or get into stalls. I’ve seen stuff like that in the news on tv before.
Why aren’t things better maintained or made with better quality? Because no one wants to spend money to fix them up or make them well to begin with. And once the restrooms are made, nobody wants to clean them or take care of them. It’s seen as an awful job no one wants to do. My aunt worked a hardware store and her coworkers refused to clean the restroom and made her do it despite her having disabilities that make it impossible for her to clean all of it without assistance.
I can’t speak for in other countries, but where I’m from people don’t like the idea of gender neutral restrooms because they’re not safe and private as it is right now. But of course no one wants to spend the money to fix them up and make them ok.
There used to be a lot of family restrooms in malls and stuff, which are basically a small room with one toilet, a sink, and a changing station for babies. These have a door that fully closes. But people don’t like to build these, because it’s a huge waste of space. If we brought these back in new buildings and made them gender neutral restrooms I really doubt people would have a huge issue. They wouldn’t even need to be labeled as gender neutral if people have a problem with that term. Just call them family restroom like they used to be called and anyone who needs a gender neutral restroom would have one.
Personally, I’ve used gender neutral restrooms that are like the first kind I described and I’ve never had a problem with them. All I’ve ever seen people do is use the restroom and then leave. Sure there might be people who would abuse the system, but they’re not trans people. The only news stories I’ve seen on tv of people getting hurt in restrooms was when a cishet man did something to a woman. I know people personally who are scared to death that a cishet man will dress up as a woman and go into restrooms to hurt people. I don’t get it at all. Trans people are wonderful people who just want to live their lives and be happy. Not that there couldn’t be an awful trans person, but I’ve never met one. On the contrary, I’ve met plenty of cishet men who went on to commit acts of violence towards men.
Just my random thoughts on the topic. Idk how other people feel. For context: my family is super transphobic/homophobic/racist so I deal with these sorts of arguments all the time. No matter how many facts I have, they trust their own made up facts in their head over real scientific evidence and research. I even have some people in my family who openly don’t believe in science and scientific research. It’s awful to be around.
Happy almost-pride! The best weapon I have against transphobia, as a transwoman, is the fact that I’m genuinely happy in a loving relationship with an incredibly supportive group of friends and family, secure in my body for the first time. They want me miserable but I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

Ive never actually been involved with one of these people actually admitting theyer being hateful because of their own mixed feelings and questioning themselves.
That and a Jamie video, we are LIVING today!

I live in Western Australia and quite a few years ago now a little girl where we were living was a victim of SA and murder in the women’s toilets at a shopping mall because her older brother waited outside for her, not knowing there was a adult, male child predator already waiting inside.
The attacker was not trans or LGBTQ+ in any way, yet he easily accessed the women’s bathroom, I’m sure this isn’t the only time it happened in the world, and if anyone else was in there at the time I’m sure he wouldn’t have been able to do that.
Those kids should’ve been safe to use either of the gendered bathrooms, really all public toilets should be unisex, the disabled toilets are and nobody has a problem with that.
It’s so sad and disgusting that people use the victims of these crimes to justify their own behaviour.
im a trans guy and i love these videos they help me with my journey and also to learn english. i love this chanel
Saying trans women should be barred from sports because they have a "biological advantage" is like saying that tall people should be barred from basketball for the same reason.
Not Just that but a Studie comissened by The olympic comitee has found Out that trans Woman have tend to have a disadvantage in Sports. Not to say that even If they Had a slight Advantage it's okay to ban them, you are 100% right. Just to add that transphobes have even less of a Point there.
I want you to think about what you just said. I am a transsexual and I never participate in boy sports. Why? Because in shot put, they are throwing 11meters. I am throwing 8. That is just our basic biological difference.
Not Just that but a Study commissioned by The olympic committee Shows that trans-woman might even be in a disadvantage. So the phobes have even less of a Point there. Funny how they ignore actual Data and Research yet Claim to have science on their Side xD

Dude, I had no idea what trans even was until I was like... probably 13/14. I had been wanting to be called Jason and hated the idea that I was made to be a girl since I was a little kid. Gender ideology didn't change me- I was trans forever. In fact, being told what being trans was from an early age would have saved me a lot of heartache and self-hatred because I would have realized early as opposed to my late twenties that I was trans and could have accepted myself earlier on as opposed to thinking I was just a really butch lesbian and not fully recognizing myself. People who say they are protecting kids are really just hurting them. We aren't trying to "trans" cis kids, we're trying to save trans kids.
I'm for abolishment of any gender/sex/whatever split in sports. Just people competing. People of similar physical attributes AND similar skill will end up competing with each other, naturally.
The concept of "Women Sports" was born out of necessity, as women (of all kinds) were deemed "unsuitable" to compete in anything, save for maybe poetry and knitting. Like chess - female league was established to give essentially a whole legion of relatively new and unexperienced players a space to be serious about it.
But now that any sane person will agree that any person can attempt any sport and it's none of our business, having that split is unneccessary, or even harmful.
The gay erasure by trans people caught me off guard...
I remember when someone who I'd got to know as a lesbian woman (in a relationship with a bisexual woman) bravely announced very publicly that he realised he's in fact a trans man and I later jokingly said to him in private "so you're straight after all" and he looked at me in shock and yelled "Oh my god you're right! I've GOT to tell my girlfriend!"
I found that very cute, and even though in this case a gay identity might have been "erased" it was still right, semantically. He's a guy, attracted entirely to women.
But maybe this just shows that we should abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love.
"...we should abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love."
That makes too much sense.
@calamityjean1525 I'm glad someone agrees. These things can turn so complicated and there's never anything gained from it.
I know a bloke who always considered himself straight because he just never fancied anyone with a penis. But now he's with a trans girl, and though he regards her as a woma, of course, she does still have a penis, so he there were considerations of whether he might rather be called bi or pan (or maybe demi?) before realising he just didn't fucking care as long as they're happy together.
Omg that's so wholesome! Also yes people should just be allowed to love.
@@F_Karnsteinthat’s so sweet omg
I've found that this can actually be touchy in relationships. I know a couple in a traditional hetero marriage, and when the "wife" transitioned, his partner had to adjust to being socially perceived as being in a gay relationship. Luckily, it was not a problem for them. But I also know of a lesbian couple, who after one transitioned, found it distressing to be perceived as straight and sometimes they felt excluded from the lesbian community.
We SHOULD "abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love."
But sometimes, rightly or wrongly, gender can define one's sense of membership in a community.
For the internal testicle one: I guess that means everyone who is fairly healthy and/or has never had a full abdominal scan (can’t use X-rays) doesn’t know their gender. Because I know despite several doctors appointments and ER visits I have never had an abdominal scan nor a chromosome test so I guess I am the shrodinger gender?
It's actually more complicated than that. A penis and a clitoris are essentially the same tissue, just with developmental differences, and the same is true of ovaries versus testicles. And development can be weird! Emily Quinn (Ted talk here on CZcams) is intersex; as she says in her talk, she has both a vagina and (internal) balls. And despite having XY chromosomes, she is not a man. Being intersex to one extent or another is actually not at all uncommon.
@@viverra exactly! People think sex (going to ignore gender) is so black and white but that’s only because so few people actually “know” what their sex is because it’s assumed based on external characteristics rather than actual imaging or genetic/chromosomal studies.

Imagine being this upset about complete strangers bodies.
Indocrinate? No, they misspelled Endocrinate!!! (Forcing Endocrines on them.) 😛
Also, as a born Intersex person (genetic condition), my response to the ones who say there is only 2 genders/sexes, "OK, I exist. So, no. There's definitely more than 2, and it's more of a spectrum than a sorting into houses." 😘
(2:50) I do like that the act is written neutrally. We know it's to protect LGBTQ+, but it also protects straights too, since straight is also a sexual orientation. It does not, as far as I can see, protect atheists, and there's vagueness if it protects cis-people.
But this can still be a good thing to highlight, that this act isn't specifically saying homo or bi, but all sexual orientations including hereto/straight. This to show that this isn't for supremacy but for equality.
Goodness, does this make me glad that even when I was homophobic and transphobic, I mainly kept it to myself, unless asked (which is still very problematic!). I am grateful 1) I was raised with the belief that hate is not ok and that the division of church and state is (generally) a good thing and 2) a friend asked me to go educate myself and listen to people's experiences - thank you! :)
To anyone in the position I was a couple of years ago: Please go do some research and listen to voices like Jamie's. Take all arguments with an open mind and form your own opinion! :)

If people are mad that women don't like their breasts, and i know many female presenting women who don't like their breasts, can we take a step back and look at how we think AND SPEAK about breasts? There's a lot of harassment out there that needs stopping. This won't fix gender dysphoria, but it will make life easier for everyone.
"It is biotechnological warfare in drag, like a multiheaded hydra" my brothers, sisters, and nonbinary siblings in Gay, how did they know? Who leaked the trans hydra creation project that I'm working on?
Fun fact, one time I was replying under (might have been Elon's tweet) a twitter comment that argued that the term "cisgender" is always a slur...explaining why it's not...and Elon Musk actually liked my reply...I don't know if his hand slipped...or he had a change of mind....we will never know... :DDD
Sometimes I like something that gives me something to think about: even if it does not immediately change my mind.
I spent a bit over 7 years in a US federal prison for sex offenders (over 80% of the population of the prison were there for a sex offence).
It housed around 1000 inmates at a time, and with turnover of people leaving and new people arriving I can't give an exact number, but I can say with absolute certainty that I met over 2000 inmates over this period.
Out of that over 2000, there were a total of 4 transgender people if you include me (I was identifying as cis at the time but have learned otherwise since).
The number of non-white inmates wasn't much higher, maybe a dozen or so.
That leaves the vast majority of sex offenders in the US as, you guessed it: cis, white, men.
If you're curious, I can't give exact numbers on hetero vs. homosexual, things get a bit fuzzy for people in prisons, but straight was still an obvious majority.
There's something inherently hilarious about ELON MUSK of all people roasting J.K Rowling.
Australian here, I don’t receive financial help for my gender affirming surgery as it’s considered ‘cosmetic’ HOWEVER in order to access it, I need to be essentially diagnosed as transgender.
Like excuse me, its it cosmetic or medical then because I certainly don’t need a referral to get any other cosmetic treatment done.
To clarify, without this diagnoses you cant get gender affirming surgery even privately. *
What state do you live in because in NSW most gender affirming surgeries are covered by medicare
Funny how they respect a chosen name when it comes to J „K“ Rowling, but not if it’s a trans person….

I have cancer. I have now had two different surgeries, the second of which required almost 2 weeks in hospital, and begun a year of immunotherapy in a specialist cancer care center. I have nurses coming into my home to change dressings, physio, and adaptive equipment I need while I regain mobility provided free of charge. Without these interventions, I still had a 70% chance of surviving the next decade, and I probably would have had fairly decent quality of life for most or even all of that, and yet I don't think you could find anyone in the UK who'd argue that treating me is not a good use of NHS money. And yet providing puberty blockers to kids and medical transition to older teens and adults isn't considered a worthwhile use of that same money, even though their survival odds are, in many cases, worse than mine. It's insane. And so horrificially cruel.
(Mind you, people also say the same shit about chronic illnesses and long-term disabilities, so despite the fact that every person on earth who doesn't die tragically young will be disabled during their lifetime, so if people can't even advocate for their own future selves, I don't know why I expected them to be capable of caring about other people!)

Uhg as a trans woman who only found that out a few months ago, this sort of rhetoric nowadays has made me incredibly scared for my safety and well-being and possibly of living the life that would make me happy (I live in the southeastern US for context). I've been bi for years but now am practically lesbian; I'm still coming to terms with that and have had some doubts about lesbians actually wanting me since I haven't medically transitioned and have barely socially transitioned yet. Still very much male-presenting :( These sort of views from transphobes are incredibly harmful and I really hope some positive change starts happening soon. I really appreciate the content you make Jamie, keep it up!

I mean, the whole bathroom thing is what i have been trying to say for YEARS! When I first heard about the whole bathroom bill, I was honestly confused and uneducated about what the terms Transman and Transwoman meant because I wasn't sure if it meant for example an afab person transitioning from female to male would call themselves a Transwoman or a Transman and vice versa but guess what? I learned. I educated myself. And when I educated myself I realized that the whole bathroom bill thing was ridiculous because they were asking people who look like Jamie to use the women's restroom and people who look like Luxeria to use the men's bathroom... And I knew that that's not what they wanted. They are just uneducated and haven't chosen to educate themselves.

A pregnant person is not a mother (yet).
