The one with a person somewhat politely asking if a gender fluid person is also trans, since they don't want to follow trans person because they're openly trasphobic reminded me of a post from a local Korean restaurant. The ownes posted screenshot from a conversation, where a person asked if the rainbow in their banner is just for aesthetic reasons, or for Pride reasons, when they answered it's for Pride reasons the guy replied: "Oh, that's really unfortunate, I am a big fan of Korean food but as a homophobe I cannot eat at your place anymore, but I'm so glad our city has such a great restaurant and I with you all the success". What a bizzare mindset, but also, can you imagine a world where this is how all homophobia looked like?
I feel like this is the exes that wish each other well but don't talk anymore kind of thing and I love it (well, in comparison to the other options). Can this be transphobia from now on?
Hi, I’m a trans man doing a psychotherapy and counselling course at uni. I got to use your PHD dissertation as a reference in an assignment! Thank you Jamie!
"Don't you dare use pronouns around me!" Start referring to them by name every single time as watch how uncomfortable they get. Malicious compliance, baybeeee
"Why do you keep saying my name instead of 'you'?" "Because Jane said Jane doesn't use pronouns. John is just trying to be respectful of Jane's wishes. Should John take the check or does Jane want John and Jane to split the check?"
@@owlfly_artist there was a program in spain some years ago in which the reporter went around asking people if they were heterosexual, and like a lot of them went " no no, i'm normal" , so yeah homophobes and transphobes are not the smartest bunch XD
The story about the suspected trans woman in the bathroom was hilarious because I still can’t figure out where exactly the supposed creeping happened. Between the flowery language this story is “I sat in a public bathroom, and there was someone else who was also in the public bathroom. They didn’t do anything but it was the scariest $#!t I ever saw.”
I’m pretty sure it was parody targeted at the phobes. I’m sure plenty of them saw this and said “that’s how I feel!” Only to be perplexed by “I got over it.” What a mind fuck! 😂
@@Mx.Phoenix what tipped it off to me was that they correctly referred to her as a trans woman (not a trans man or a transgender man or sth like that)and then also used 'they' as a sg pronoun in a trans setting. has to be not a transphobe lol.
I'm a librarian and got a pretty strange comment today (I did my best to be calm, be understanding and explain clearly). A patron asked us to move our LGBT+ -shelf to the back of the library because prejudice people might be offended by it, specifically the rainbowflag. Great idea, we wouldn't want transphobes, homophobes etc to have to feel uncomfortable because they are truly the ones struggling to find safe spaces, good reepresentation and information in media and staff that will treat them well... 🙄
I interpreted that dramatic bathroom story as satirical, especially since it ends with something like "that happened to me and I got through it". The fact that the (alleged) trans person didn't do anything abnormal seemed to be the point.
just posted the same thing myself. it reminds me of a meme that was going around about a child asking something about having two uncles (in a relationship). the parent explained that they are together because they love each other or something like that. the kid said, oh, can I get a cookie now? the meme ends with. traumatized they were. obviously the story was meant to be a satirical play on people who believe children would be traumatized by being exposed to homosexuality.
Not saying that no one is ridiculous enough to write the same actual story and be serious, but from the presentation I definitely assume it’s satire. What’s more troubling is watching Jamie think it’s serious because by now he’s so used to reading equally silly content intended as actual arguments 😬
As an English teacher, I find it both sad and hilarious when people go ”No pronouns” and then continue on with a text containing no less than THREE pronouns (all ’I’s), under a headline containing a fourth (’me’). Transphobes truly do not pay enough attention in English class.
As a person who actually cares about language, this drives me almost as crazy as seeing "if it was" instead of "if it were." (Edit: Of course, I post this and then realize I have a misplaced modifier. :-P )
Transphobes will literally go as far as assuming people are trans just because of their body proportions or even their fashion choices. I remember once I was out shopping with my mother (a cis woman) and she needed to use the rest room. My mother is a tall woman and has large feet so finding feminine looking shoes that fit her properly is difficult. Apparently the woman in the stall next to her gasped and ran out to go alert staff that a "Man" was using the women's rest room because she saw my mother's large feet in (in a pair of "masculine" looking sneakers) and just assumed it had to be a man using that stall. Again, my mother is a CIS woman, she just has big feet!!!
I'm a genderfluid teenager with naturally masculine proportions. I don't really have curves, and my breasts are really small too, i don't even have to bind to cover them up. I have short hair too. I'm not doing anything to really cover my body, change it, nor am i using testosterone. So, everytime, at school, going to the toilet is the worst experience ever, cause i have to use the girls one, but people that don't know me actually think i'm a guy being perverted. Like: yeah, i wanna look more masculine, but my body is the one i have naturally, i did no change to it, and i usually just wear t-shirts or hoodies at school, so keeping the fact i'm genderfluid apart, if i was cis they would just randomly pick on a girl because they think they are a boy just based on masculine body shape :^ I really would love a neutral toilet, no awkward moments in explaining i'm biologically female and lost time when i just want to pee in peace
This is why transphobia hurts cis women. Anyone who doesn't fit the incredibly restrictive mould of "woman" in their eyes is a MAN. It's honestly sickening.
I had someone ask me a while back "are you a man or a woman?". I'm a cis woman, but didn't feel a need to get offended, so said, "I'm a woman" and thought that would be the end of it...until he asked "are you sure?" 😂 The transphobes really are always reaching.
I inherited wide shoulders from my mother. My CISGENDER very feminine mother. Wide shoulders and hirstirism plus a deeper than average voice. the only reason I think she doesn't get harrassed is because she performs white femininity so well. Heaven forbid you don't wear a dress/skirt, makeup and spend hours doing your hair though. OH NOES!
I’d lay odds that the “no one under 21 is mature enough to make a decision about their gender” crowd has a huge crossover with the “pregnant teenagers should have to give birth be because I don’t like abortion” types without any of them seeing the contradiction.
@@donnamitsuki281 Even worse: to a lot of these people, teenagers are too young to transition OR decide that they want to have an abortion, but they ARE old enough to have sex, get married and give birth. It's because they think that those latter things are all things that cis women should do and/or it's "natural" for them to do, so they don't see it as weird for cis girls to do that stuff at any age.
I wonder if the narrative about encountering a trans person in the bathroom was told from a sarcastic stand point to show it was the same kind of interaction in a restroom that you’d have with anyone else.
@@squeaktheswan2007 But nothing too serious… Just Candy Crush. Dragon Age requires to many ethical decisions. Your too young for that! I am not sure about Mario Kart.
That's why I always dry my hands by slinging them around until the air dries them off. Sure, I might accidentally slap a transphobe or two, but it's worth not having to waste paper towels or electricity.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 I'm not sure what it says about me that your mention of possibly, accidentally slapping transphobes made me giggle and lift my mood so much... But thank you! And blessed Pride to you! 🙏💙💗🤍💗💙🏳️🌈
@@meowingcactus there wasn't a man in the bathroom. There was a woman someone looked at for a split second and decided was trans. If you think that trans people should go to the bathroom of their assigned sex at birth, men will be forced to go to the women's bathroom. Trans men like Jamie, who is obviously a man.
I'm a transgender lesbian woman. I was swiping on bumble the other day, and saw a strange profile description. Paraphrased: "proud Republican WOMAN in a sea of liberal sludge, looking for a MAN to spoil me as god intended. Tinder and okc banned me because they're clowns" Well. I saw your profile, which means you set your preferences to include women so....what? Also, I think tinder and okc may have banned you for idk....being transphobic maybe? Us trans folks account for less than 1% of the population, why are you so upset?
I feel ya! I'm cis so I wouldn't ever claim I've dealt with the same struggles as trans people, but I'm asexual and we also take up 1% of the population (at least, we allegedly do - I know enough people on the ace spectrum to know that's probably not accurate 😂). The amount of people I've come out to who have been upset by my sexuality is ridiculous. Like, IDK... if it doesn't affect you, maybe don't waste your time and energy being angry about it?
@@dariadaniellemusic The amounts of people who think everyone wants to get in their pants and then get offended when you tell them you don't consider them attractive (either because ace, because not into their gender, or because their ism or phobia is a turn off) is unreal. Makes me happy I'm in a neurodivergent cabal and everyone knows we collectively have the social skills of an Oblivion NPC so the assumption in my neck of the woods is "assume nice until they hit on you with the subtlety of a kool aid man ad"
That poor women having to endure the torture of listening to someone wash their hands. I can’t imagine the torment that poor women went through. Every time water runs she will be haunted by the harrowing experience of hearing someone else wash their hands.
Now, I don't know where the toilet cubicle story was posted, but after a brief analysis I think the whole post there might have been satire. Perhaps that just my fraying optimism for humanity speaking, but from the overly dramatic descriptions of normal things, and the way there wasn't a single actual slur that I could see in the post, I feel like the post was made satirically. In fact, the poster seems to go to great lengths to never use any pronouns for the trans woman in the story, keeping from deliberate misgendering, which would be too far for the sake of a joke, and keeping from using proper womanly pronouns for her, so as not to give the game away. I don't know for sure if it was satire or not, but I do hope it was and this lady wasn't actually treating a bathroom encounter with a trans person like the turning point in a horror film. Edit: occured to me a literal minute after posting, but I suppose the satirical nature of the post doesn't really matter, since anything making fun of transphobia in this way can be so easily muddled into the vast ocean of transphobic material only a hairs breadth less ridiculous than the told story. I think that's like a law of the internet or something, where the more ridiculous and weird an ideology is, the harder it becomes to satirize it? This might not even be relevant anymore since we all know political satire became redundant when Kissinger won the Nobel peace prize.
@@Deathstorm501 It is getting difficult to know what is intended as humour and what is malicious. I’ve read some things I was sure were jokes only to find out that no, unfortunately they weren’t. Some things that were so ridiculous that I believed them to be parodies but again no, they were intended to be malicious. If it was a true story, I like Jamie’s approach of dealing with it, have a laugh at its absurdity and move on. Humour is a wonderful defence against hate 😀
I've been working on my denial and internalized transphobia, and now I've been on T for a week!! I'm gonna keep fighting to be myself, no matter what other people think about it. ❤️
the bathroom story is hilarious. someone going to the bathroom while you go to the bathroom can be nerve wracking... if you have explosive diarrhea and don't want them to know. the real tension between two people in the bathroom is when one of them has to take a nasty dump and is super loud
@The Werewolf of Somalia except that is not what happened, at all. This person just saw someone in the bathroom for a split second and assumed they were trans. The other person didn't do anything other than go to the bathroom like any other person would. She was just minding her business
I feel like if you turned it around and it was the story of a trans person experiencing the bathroom it's shockingly honest. I feel like this in almost an busy, gendered bathroom.
@The Werewolf of Somalia I mean, I've been in bathrooms where burly cis men have come in to use the changing table. It's not a big deal, honestly. I have a lot of trauma around men, but public bathrooms are just, like, a get in get out sort of space anyway.
And the fact that the poor woman was just minding her own. Like, she just wanted to pee and this idiot is treating her lesser than human. The cis woman is more of a menace than any trans woman at this point. And no, I’ve come to realize that they really don’t see trans people as people. It’s absolutely horrifying.
Assuming it was real (and I don't) it feels like a phobe trying to justify their terror by the terror they experienced. "I was super scared so that's why I was scared. See how I suffer the trauma." It makes zero sense.
It honestly read like satire. Maybe the writer was an ally pointing out how ridiculous and hyperbolic transphobia is. That's what I'm going to tell myself anyway in order to keep having faith in humanity.
And cis girls before 18 with parental permission can have plastic surgery and and chest reductions or chest implants, but trans men have to wait until 18 for top surgery (unless proven medically necessary) and trans women have to wait until 18 for implants and feminizing facial surgery. Totally not a double standard there.
@@Anonymous-sq6eo While for surgeries I agree should wait until 18, life saving trans care like blockers should be allowed at puberty, and hrt at 16, otherwise the trans child will develop parts that are either irreversible or will need other surgeries. If a trans boy take blockers at 11, than hrt at 16, he'll never even need top surgery.
@@rosieg6989 puberty blockers should not be given to confused children that may or may not change their mind later on. 11 is not an age they should be taking such a huge life altering choice.
@@Anonymous-sq6eo Except they aren't just like "Mom, can we buy blockers?" They have to go see a therapist, their pediatrician, and a gender specialist, and only if all three agree can a kid get blockers, and the whole point of blockers is to just halt puberty, if at any point a kid realizes they aren't trans they can stop it and they'll go through puberty as normal.
I love how that post about the cis woman seeing a trans woman in the bathroom was literally "I was in the same restroom as a trans woman and literally nothing happend. It was terrifying."
Can we all just agree that Dinosaurs Robots The Wild west Puppies Chocolate Freddie Mercury Paper Pokémon Wizards Penguins Boxes The circus Biblically accurate angels Vikings Dieselpunk Trains Dungeons and Dragons Breathing Doritos And Halloween are all too cool for transphobes. I'm not wrong...
As a trans person living in a very transphobic environment, I find way too much comfort in videos like this where we can all agree how ridiculous transphobia is
@The Werewolf of Somalia wow, you are completely correct. i think we can all agree that you have opened our eyes and now we will all stop being trans or being allies to the trans community. how silly of me to not think of that before. /s
Ignore the werewolf, they responded to my comment telling me to stay away from children 😂😂 well done for being proud of who you are, and I hope you’ll be able to find yourself a safe and healthily environment
That bathroom scene reminded me of an assignment in my creative writing class where we had to make mundane moments seem as exciting/dramatic as possible.
@@addyshorhnr3544 nothing happened ? what do you mean ? people - kids - got raped because of the crazy bathroom policy to please the trans. what do you mean nothing happened ???
Hello, I am not trans, but I do cut my hair to a "masculine" length and have a demiboy\unisex male name. I have a transphobic, homophobic, overly religious kid in my class who calls me my dead name and outdated pronouns, and tells me I'll never be a boy. Thank you KID IN MY CLASS for helping me realize I am on the Non-Binary Spectrum
Bigotry is selfishness and isolation of ideas. Bigotry never changes and Bigotry never wins. It always sounds like this "Don't let the trans use our bathrooms." "Don't let the blacks uses our water fountains." "Don't let the women vote." "Don't let that country have Independence." "Don't let the Pagans worship their gods." I don't remember this exact quote, but it goes something like this "The heroes are always Growing, learning and changing. But the villains always stay the same."
Something I don’t hear brought up a lot is that the terf notion of ‘I’m a woman because I bleed/can have children’ doesn’t just hurt trans women but it can really hurt those AFAB trans people who can do this but have dysphoria. Like ‘You do this? You must be a woman’ Edit: spelling
@@Ikajo Not to mention cis women who just don't want to have children. Imagine being such a "feminist' that you see women solely as uteruses on legs, with nonproductive units being fundamentally malfunctioning.
Oh yeah, terfs know this already - they just don't care. As this video shows, a lot of them see afab trans people as their "sisters" who just need to be convinced/coerced into detransitioning; they absolutely see afrab trans people having periods/getting pregnant as being "proof" that they're female.
And the Cis woman who struggle with invertility, inheritable diseases or damage or deformities to their reproductive tract, or just simply decided they don't want (to bear) children. They are still woman and nobody should think any less of a woman if they either don't want to, or cannot bear children!
@@Ikajo plus the millions of women who have PCOS and have screwed up hormones, which result in excess testosterone, hair and other testosterone related changes, and seemingly random 'dry' spells where they don't have periods, and often require fertility treatment if they want to concieve.
I'm not over transphobes thinking that breast tissue is part of the skeleton. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I like the thing that begins "No pronouns or liberals" and proceeds to begin the following sentence with the pronoun "I."
Jamie, I just noticed that your beard is wearing a bow tie! The part of your beard right below your lip is a perfect bow tie in this video and compliments your upgraded pyjamas perfectly 😁
I haven't watched the video yet but I just wanted to say that, you've most definitely helped me in my transition. I'm a trans guy and I'm going to be starting my medical transition soon. Your videos about your transition have helped me learn about it. I recently had a talk with my doctor about starting hormone therapy and I already knew what would change if I started testosterone and that is partly because of you. The doctor said I was well informed and during my second appointment, they would let me start it! Thank you so much, Jamie!
To make an informed decision you also need to see the videos about trans people detransitioning. There are plenty. Then make a decision. There are no long term scientic studies done to prove the safety so be careful what you ask for.
@@ladivaeu7795 Oh, we have plenty of studies. A very small percent of trans people detransition, and quite often it's because of harassment they get. Puberty blockers have decades of use, as they were in use for several other conditions. Just because you can't find the safety studies doesn't mean that they aren't there. If you are honest about looking into this, then search harder. If you aren't, you might want to comment somewhere else.
The button at 6:02 ("Transmen Are My Sisters") looks more like someone who's trying to be a supportive ally but got confused on the transmen/transwomen terminology. They use the trans flag and a heart. ...I'm going to choose to believe it was someone who was a little confused, but got the spirit. For my own sanity.
The way that toilet experience was written reminded me of how I, a trans man who becomes clockable the moment he says something or the chesticles don't sit right in his binder, feel when I go to the men's bathroom. Waiting till the other men leave, gauging whether it is safe to come out of the stall. But the difference is that the cis men in the bathroom could be dangerous to me if they clocked me. The trans woman just wanted to pee.
Yep! I've been on T over a year and pass quite well casually. I *still* feel this way in busy gendered bathrooms. This story, flipped around, is a pretty accurate description of a trans person or gender non-conforming person in a bathroom of either gender. Edit: Bathrooms are the one place where I still consistently experience dysphoria. I actively try to pee harder to make it sound more like a person standing and peeing and then sit there an extra few minutes to make it seem like I was doing #2. Which are contradictory efforts. lol And yet...
oh so you're genuinely at risk, but women and children are definitely not at risk cos all biological men in female clothes would never want to harm them and only want to pee? Like the men who insist on going to female prisons only want to do their sentence in peace? Apart from the ones who have gone on to rape female prisoners! And drag queens only want to read stories to children in drag queen story hour, apart from the ones who were convicted pedophiles! But hey, who gives a crap about so called 'cis' women and children right? As long as trans people are safe

Thank you so much Jamie you helped me find out I was trans and you're my comfort channel. Thank you so much for being so positive and making transphobes look stupid. I live in a transphobic environment and these make me feel better.
I’m cis and I love it here. I’m always learning and always seeing lots of support for the LGBTQ+ community. (The occasional troll tries to get people riled, but is inevitably forced to give up.) This is the best venue I know for people like you - and for people like me 🙂💕
You aren't the only cis person who finds Jamie absolutely wonderful. I've recommend him to a few people who didn't understand transitioning, but wanted to learn. I can't understand how anybody can still be transphobic after seeing him be his charming self.
The whole "born in the wrong body" thing has always been so interesting for me because I used it for so so long until I realised it didn't describe how I felt. My joke now is that my body is like an NFT to me, it's taxing to own, I don't *really* own or control it, and it's bad for my mental environment.
If I had that type of pajamas I would def upgrade it to shirt. Actually I am thinking about making a t-shirt out of an old nightgown as I don't wear nightgowns anymore but it has Minnie mouse print. No one would ever know except for you xD
As a seamstress I can tell you, if Jamie didn't point it out, I wouldn't have been able to tell (especially as the lapels don't have rounded edges, which is often done for PJs). If you have high quality PJs (that aren't obviously PJ cut) and the people you meet don't have the same set at home, there is little chance anyone can tell. And probably even in the forementioned case they're more likely to think it just looks similar.
Right? I have a pair of posh pjs and the top looks like a shirt like Jamie's but I don't wear them because they're too posh to wear at home and it feels weird to wear them outside because what if people can tell 😂
5:36 it's sad to know that there are lots of people like this. I know a teacher who has had a student refuse to be anywhere near their gay classmate because "I'm homophobic"
Yeah, since Rowling infantilises the shit out of fellow trans brothers and transmasc siblings while literally being additionally shitty towards Autistic folks (including Autistic trans men and mascs)
I'm a cis woman and the best way I've found to "rationalise" cis and trans to anyone is comparing it to "short" and "small": I'm a small woman and my neighbour is a tall woman. we are both women. Short women are not the real women or vice versa. Hope this might help get it through to some people out there :)
@@twinning1944I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one and it makes sense to others too! it shows how transphobia is so unfounded and makes no sense. I'm not talking about people who have barely any education, if any, and who haven't received all the info because that is not a black and white situation.
I've used breast size as a comparison to engage the attention of jokers better, the people who are ignorant, but not intentionally malicious, and are more likely to pay attention if boobs are mentioned. Sometimes it seems to work a little, but I definitely think the height comparison is better in more polite company! It's a great technique, since it's objectively true, just like how trans women are absolutely women, but in a way nobody can use their political views to twist. The more tools we can acquire to face the transphobes with, the safer the world can become for our trans loved ones (naturally, which includes all trans people we don't personally know)!
8:43 they're just accidentally arguing for puberty blockers for everyone. no but really they think inaction isn't a choice. i kind of get that because i used to feel that way and it is sort of easier on your mind to just let things happen. and when you think about other people making changes, it makes you think that you have to think about the possibility of making changes for yourself, which leads to panic. this is why i used to be against abortion. debating and having to give my reasons finally led me to realize my true reason and now i'm pro-choice because "abortion gives me anxiety" is not actually a good reason. i think the same thing is happening with a lot of transphobic ppl.
If puberty blockers were truly risk free, I'd be down with it. Unfortunately there are risks. For trans children (and cis kids with precocious puberty) the risks of the medication are outweighed by the health benefits of using them. But the risks are enough currently to make having all children be on them not feasible given the relatively small percentage of people who are trans. Maybe in the future it will be a viable option.
Conservatism, insofar as it is the political position of "things are perfect just as they are *do not* try to change them", does operate from the assumption that stasis is the natural state of things, and therefore only those seeking change are activists. In their minds, conservatives aren't being unreasonable by resisting change because they don't conceptualize maintaining the status quo as a decsion in need of reasoned justification.
Umm? I don't get it what does what other people do with their bodies have to do with you? You can do what you want with your body, changer your gender or not, gat an abortion or not. No one is forcing you to do these thing? How do you go from "holy shit people do these things!?" To "now I have to think about these thing about me getting an abortion or changing my gender!?" Wtf!? Could you explain that logic a little more. I mean ty for the insight into their frame of mind (if you want to call it that). And glad you changed your mind on it to. But still trying to see how that works?
Cis woman here. When I was in school studying to become a medical assistant, my teacher invited a trans woman to come talk to us so we could have a better understanding of the struggles being trans can cause. The other cis women in my class freaked out about the possibility of using the bathroom at the same time as the trans woman. I was like, "It's the freaking bathroom. You're in separate stalls. What does it matter?" Turns out I was in the bathroom at the same time as the trans woman later that day. Guess what? I didn't care. I just went in, did my business, said "Hi" when she came to the sink beside me, and then went on with my life. The only reason I even remember the incident is because the other women were trying to figure out how I could be in the bathroom at the same time as a trans woman and not be traumatized. Um, because we're both women in a public womens' bathroom. Simple as that.
My friends 6 year old asked me “How his uncle became his aunt”? She is trans and came out about a year ago I told him “some times a girl soul gets put in a boy body and when this happens they might alter their body to align with their soul”. He was like “oh that make sense”. So a 6 year old gets it so how do these grown adults not.
@@rhymerlegend2717 It's an analogy. Didn't they teach you about analogies in high school English class? It's a way of comparing a complex, hard-to-understand situation with a simple, easy-to-understand situation in order to facilitate the understanding of the more complex situation. Some smart adults are capable of understanding that the prenatal growth of certain small but important regions of the brain cause a person to feel that they are a man or a woman, regardless of what their genitals look like. Six year olds and stupider adults can't understand that, but can understand the analogy of "a girl born in a boy's body". Adults that don't understand the analogy have no right to an opinion.

I find it so weird that they always call themselves ‘adult *human* male’ or ‘adult *human* female’. It’s like they have to specify that they’re not an animal, plant, or fungi.
It happened to me too. I've been in a public toilet with someone who appeared to be a trans woman. How did I deal with this dangerous situation? I smiled and said hi, she smiled and said hi. We both had a pee, washed our hands and went about our day. Oh the trauma.
Let's make sure to call all those people who "don't have pronouns" by their full name every single time, and when they ask why you keep saying their name explain that you're merely respecting their wishes
i feel like if i was old enough to start narrowing down my future career options when i chose my gcses at age 13 then im old enough to change my name and pronouns at age 16. people under 18 aren't getting hrt or surgery. they're getting puberty blockers, sometimes, but that's reversible, and so is socially transitioning. hair can grow back or be cut off, wardrobes can be changed back, names and pronouns can be changed again. what isn't so easily undone is years of trauma from having to pretend to be someone you're not, especially with transphobic parents.
@@Anonymous-sq6eo They may have some side effects, but to most ppI who use them, such as trans kids or cis kids who start puberty too early, the risks are usually outweighed by the reason for use. That is not to say that they are not dangerous at all, however.

About the bathroom one: It sounds like that situation was truly stressful for the poster - fears are rarly rational. So the fact that literally nothing bad happened will be helpful for them and hopefully help them see that all the bullshit transphobes are saying is just that.
I was just thinking something similar, that posts like this can be beneficial. This was just an illustration of what going to a bathroom with a trans person is like... it's completely normal and nothing to be scared of.
If that were the case they wouldn’t have made such a ridiculous post. Asking terfs to realise how stupid they are is like asking a fish to climb a tree.
the transgirl just wanted to pee and this lady is watching her like a hawk when she didn't even do anything. That's creepy as fuck. At this point it's proving that we actually aren't the crazy ones and that these Facebook feminists only really know trans people from harmful stereotypes and have never actually talked to a trans person. It's very prejudice and it's fucking annoying. they're treating us like animals.
@@GoroAkechi_Real it honestly doesn’t matter if it was a transwoman or not. All that matters is the poster THOUGHT it was a transwoman and nothing bad happened.
Wouldn't the whole "all famous people are trans" thing mean that it is more common for someone to be trans? It invalidates their other argument that people being trans is not common, right?
i think within the conspiracy they think that trans people are all in a trans cult. that they chose to be trans when they joined the trans cult. and that this trans cult is secretly in controle of the media and the government. idk its real crazy stuff that these people actually believe even half of this stuff
Sort of, but the "transvestigation" junk is tied up with several other really gross conspiracy theories. Stuff like the illuminati controlling Hollywood and Jewish people taking over. In transvestigators' arguments, something they view as sin becoming common just means it's closer to the end of the world where all the people they hate go to h*ll.
And what is even more hilarious to me personally is that personal and related pronouns are not the only types of pronouns. I'd very much like to see those people try avoiding relative pronouns and indefinite pronouns in particular.

I'm cis, and trans men are my brothers. I'm proud that Jamie is part of my gender. Regarding dinosaurs, I wish they would give adults dinosaur bandages like they give to kids. One time, I got some blood drawn and they gave me a dinosaur bandage because they were out of the other kind. That was the most awesome thing ever! 🦕🦕🦕
Yeah, um, a little update here. Trans men are my brothers, but it turns out I'm their sister. I'm not cis, and Jamie is not part of my gender. (But he's doing a much better job of being a man than I ever did.) I guess there's a reason I was watching so many trans creators a couple months ago. Yeah. Anyway, my comments about dinosaur bandages still stand.

I was the 690th like. This is one of my greatest life achievements. And while I haven’t been alive for very long, this still feels both like an absolute win, but also a very strong defeat. I want to effect the world. Change the minds of transphobic individuals. Help people to enjoy life. I want to make the quality of life for LGBTQ individuals a lot better. Yet here I am. The most I have achieved is being lucky enough to be the 690th like on this video. Anyways great video Jamie!!
"A life well lived is the best revenge." As an older person who is still a baby trans, a word of advice. Don't try to change the world. You won't succeed. I'm not saying that you can't try to improve small and manageable bits, but laying the weight of ending discrimination on yourself is a burden no person should bear. I'm struggling horribly with the idea that my chances of making perceptible differences on society at large are non-existent. I'm actively working to figure out how to manage my expectations in a way that doesn't paralyze me with feelings of failure. Help one other trans person access medical care. Have one good conversation with a potential ally. Give one like to a trans creator. Millions of people doing millions of incremental actions may create change, but don't carry it on your own.

Meanwhile I'm over here trying to adapt a neopronoun from a constructed language to fit English. Language, like art and gender, is whatever you can get away with. For those curious the pronoun I'm attempting to adapt is "ri," and it was first introduced to Esperanto as an analogue to the singular they around the mid-1970s. Although it's never been officially recognized by the Akademio de Esperanto it's been gaining traction among young Esperantists ever since. My goal is for linguistic purists to detonate upon being introduced to me.
Someone on another one of Jamie's videos said something about "I don't need this cis pronoun". How can you be so wrong in just 6 words?? First, cis isn't a pronoun. It's a prefix, in this context shortened form of cisgender, meaning your gender identity and AGAB (or physical sex) align. Nobody really needs to specify if they're cis or trans in day-to-day life, however it can be very much necessary in a medical context, among other things. Therefore it is very useful in certain situations. At least do the enough research to understand what you're talking about before deciding to be mad at it.
The real question is why are there the same transphobic people commenting on everything that is supposed to be positive or funny? why are they even watching this?? half of them say they aren't transphobic, but why click on a trans meme-review just to comment crap on wholesome comments? if you don't like trans folk, THEN DON'T SEEK THEM OUT
I love you. Keep on helping us understand and feel more comfortable. I don't think I'm transphobic, but the concept of trans is something I used to struggle with. I'm a 60yo gay man. I've had a couple of trans friends over the years (before the internet opened the world) and that helped. Again, I so appreciate your perspective, openness, and humor.
The toilet thing reminds me of a recent situation I found myself in. So before this situation I thought the girls talking to people in the toilets about their drama was a TV thing. Welp! I was stuck on the toilet overhearing drunk strangers gossip about their boyfriends for a good 15 minutes because I was way too socially anxious to leave the cubicle. It might have been better if the instigator of this 15 minutes of gossiping didn't direct the original "Can I ask one of you something when you get out" at all of us using the toilets. But I knew the second I left while they were all still there, I'd have had to engage in uncomfortable unwanted conversation about people's love lives. No thank you! Thankfully it wasn't nearly as terrifying of an experience as having to share the toilet with a trans woman was for that person, just really awkward and uncomfortable.
Oh it’s definitely a thing! I’ve become short-term besties with countless women that way. The more alcohol, the more bestie. It’s kinda pathetic and annoying if you’re sober. So don’t be. 😂
3:05 I actually have an analogy for this. Imagine you have to move, and the only house you can move into is one you don't like for one reason or another. Now, for the sake of this argument, you own the house, meaning you have the freedom to customize it as you choose. So you paint the walls to a color you like better, you hire builders to add or remove rooms to better suit your purposes. No one else is living here, it's your house, yours is the only opinion that matters, you're working with professionals who know what they're doing so you don't screw up the plumbing or electricity or whatever. You didn't like the house before, but you've fixed it up to be your own, and now it feels like yours. Now you wake up in the morning and feel good about where you live, because after so much time and work, you finally feel at home.

I really like that analogy. Everyone has the right to adjust their home in a way that makes them comfortable and happy to live there. It's nobody's business but their's and the same goes for your body. Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and happy in their own body and it's nobody else's business. I've always liked using analogies to explain things to people because relating to something that they do understand helps them relate to and accept the explanation if they are willing to listen and learn. If they don't want to learn then nothing will help.
2:23 if I was Mark Zuckerberg and saw this, I'd be like "Yes, I am trans. What about it?" because it'd be hilarious seeing people attempt to boycot my platform because they don't agree with trans people are actually humans too, and I'd love to see how long people survived not using it when it's generally some people's only social media presence.
@@gustavohermandio1440 Honestly no. Everybody poops. But in this system that separates men’s and women’s bathrooms, trans people should use the one they feel most comfortable in. Should Jamie be in the women’s bathroom because he was assigned female at birth? Obviously not.
My question is- At 6:30, how do they know its a trans woman? It very well could've just been a cis woman, and that just seems like how I'd write my essay for English class when I need more words 😂
That's the thing: they don't know! They just assume that they're trans if they have a masculine-ish body, even though some cis women can be very masculine looking. The fact that they don't actually know if someone's actually trans add to the ridiculousness of the situation.
Yep. Exactly. But it’s just as traumatic for phobes. Cuz that woman is obviously a lesbian and wants nothing more than to assault irresistible meee! Phobes ain’t right.
Is it weird that I feel a little sad when bigots say they have/love dogs. First of all, I feel bad for the dog because they didn't have a choice in being stuck with a horrible person. Second, these people clearly have some capacity to care for living things, yet choose to be hateful towards people.
I wouldn't say that they necessarily have any capacity to care for living things. As sad as it is, I've seen far too many pet owners who "care" about their pets so much that they refuse to see them for the species they are. They feed them species inappropriate diets, make them wear clothes, manhandle them (like "pinch their cheeks") without caring whether the animal likes it or not, assign human motivation to them, etc. I wouldn't call interacting with a picture in your head instead of the living breathing creature "caring".
@@kaworunagisa4009 I feel like that's especially the case for exotic pets such as the chimpanzee that took Xanax and attacked someone. It was forced to wear clothes and was kept inside instead of letting it run free.
q angle is to do with the pelvis - AFAB people tend to have wider hips because of giving birth, and thus the angle their legs go inwards is slightly larger.

Interestingly enough, there is some research indicating that trans people who do not undergo their natal puberty and have their puberty paused in the first stage that they will have develop a hip and pelvic structure like that of the opposite sex (with respect to their birth sex). This is if they undergo HRT.

I make a point of following educational trans pages, and I know that a lot of uneducated people asking questions on those pages genuinely get confused about whether "trans man" means "assigned male but identifies as female" or "assigned female but identifies as male." So it's possible some people might mistakenly buy and wear the "trans men are my sisters" pin with the intention of being a genuine trans ally because they get confused about the terminology- thinking they're validating people who identify as women, when actually the pin undermines the identity of men. I wish it wasn't so fucking hard to figure out who's transphobic and who's just uneducated but trying, but here we are.
I can't ever wrap my head around the mere concept of transphobia, like, someone wants to be a different gender than what they were born as? Ok thats fine and doesn't hurt anyone, so why so much hate?? and I swear if someone tries to justify this hate with something religious I'm going berserk 🦖
If the ABC community kept it to themselves nobody would care. But no, they demand their pronouns to be respected, they demand to be called women or men, when they’re the opposite, demand society and infrastructures to change in order to accommodate them, a fringe confused minority.

Your open honest approach to the realities faced by those who don't fit rigid stereotypes is wonderful. Keep up the good work. When I was young we had kind of heard about "gay", but nothing else. What you do is important for the young people who don't have other resources that will help them understand themselves and others.
The one with a person somewhat politely asking if a gender fluid person is also trans, since they don't want to follow trans person because they're openly trasphobic reminded me of a post from a local Korean restaurant. The ownes posted screenshot from a conversation, where a person asked if the rainbow in their banner is just for aesthetic reasons, or for Pride reasons, when they answered it's for Pride reasons the guy replied: "Oh, that's really unfortunate, I am a big fan of Korean food but as a homophobe I cannot eat at your place anymore, but I'm so glad our city has such a great restaurant and I with you all the success".

The story about the suspected trans woman in the bathroom was hilarious because I still can’t figure out where exactly the supposed creeping happened. Between the flowery language this story is “I sat in a public bathroom, and there was someone else who was also in the public bathroom.

I interpreted that dramatic bathroom story as satirical, especially since it ends with something like "that happened to me and I got through it". The fact that the (alleged) trans person didn't do anything abnormal seemed to be the point.
just posted the same thing myself. it reminds me of a meme that was going around about a child asking something about having two uncles (in a relationship). the parent explained that they are together because they love each other or something like that. the kid said, oh, can I get a cookie now? the meme ends with. traumatized they were.
obviously the story was meant to be a satirical play on people who believe children would be traumatized by being exposed to homosexuality.
Cam here to say the same thing. Surely was satire. Surely. Maybe I'm just too optimistic
Sounds like a normal experience of anybody else being in the same restroom as oneself.
Not saying that no one is ridiculous enough to write the same actual story and be serious, but from the presentation I definitely assume it’s satire. What’s more troubling is watching Jamie think it’s serious because by now he’s so used to reading equally silly content intended as actual arguments 😬
The fact that I took it seriously before reading this comment makes me think I should stop watching the Karen videos
As an English teacher, I find it both sad and hilarious when people go ”No pronouns” and then continue on with a text containing no less than THREE pronouns (all ’I’s), under a headline containing a fourth (’me’). Transphobes truly do not pay enough attention in English class.

@@andrewkohler3707 have you heard about all these LGBT teachers arrested for bad behaviour towards children lately ?? its insane ...
Transphobes will literally go as far as assuming people are trans just because of their body proportions or even their fashion choices. I remember once I was out shopping with my mother (a cis woman) and she needed to use the rest room. My mother is a tall woman and has large feet so finding feminine looking shoes that fit her properly is difficult. Apparently the woman in the stall next to her gasped and ran out to go alert staff that a "Man" was using the women's rest room because she saw my mother's large feet in (in a pair of "masculine" looking sneakers) and just assumed it had to be a man using that stall. Again, my mother is a CIS woman, she just has big feet!!!
Transphobes are not known to be calm, rational creatures.
I'm a genderfluid teenager with naturally masculine proportions. I don't really have curves, and my breasts are really small too, i don't even have to bind to cover them up. I have short hair too. I'm not doing anything to really cover my body, change it, nor am i using testosterone.
So, everytime, at school, going to the toilet is the worst experience ever, cause i have to use the girls one, but people that don't know me actually think i'm a guy being perverted.
Like: yeah, i wanna look more masculine, but my body is the one i have naturally, i did no change to it, and i usually just wear t-shirts or hoodies at school, so keeping the fact i'm genderfluid apart, if i was cis they would just randomly pick on a girl because they think they are a boy just based on masculine body shape :^
I really would love a neutral toilet, no awkward moments in explaining i'm biologically female and lost time when i just want to pee in peace
This is why transphobia hurts cis women. Anyone who doesn't fit the incredibly restrictive mould of "woman" in their eyes is a MAN. It's honestly sickening.
I had someone ask me a while back "are you a man or a woman?". I'm a cis woman, but didn't feel a need to get offended, so said, "I'm a woman" and thought that would be the end of it...until he asked "are you sure?" 😂 The transphobes really are always reaching.
I inherited wide shoulders from my mother. My CISGENDER very feminine mother. Wide shoulders and hirstirism plus a deeper than average voice. the only reason I think she doesn't get harrassed is because she performs white femininity so well. Heaven forbid you don't wear a dress/skirt, makeup and spend hours doing your hair though. OH NOES!
I’d lay odds that the “no one under 21 is mature enough to make a decision about their gender” crowd has a huge crossover with the “pregnant teenagers should have to give birth be because I don’t like abortion” types without any of them seeing the contradiction.
You'd have to find an absolute fool to bet against that one.
18 year olds are old enough to join the military and die in a war but they're not old enough to know what gender they are i guess :/
That's the interesting part. Teenagers are too young to transition but old enough to give birth?? Math ain't mathing
@@donnamitsuki281 Even worse: to a lot of these people, teenagers are too young to transition OR decide that they want to have an abortion, but they ARE old enough to have sex, get married and give birth. It's because they think that those latter things are all things that cis women should do and/or it's "natural" for them to do, so they don't see it as weird for cis girls to do that stuff at any age.
Omg ur right
I wonder if the narrative about encountering a trans person in the bathroom was told from a sarcastic stand point to show it was the same kind of interaction in a restroom that you’d have with anyone else.
Yeah, that’s what I assumed too.
Actually I was thinking the same thing to!? Because really? who could read that and take that shit seriously?
Same.. I feel someone made a dramatic reading of "yep... NBD" because that's life in any washroom. Don't interact with strangers in any awkward way.

Well. I saw your profile, which means you set your preferences to include women so....what? Also, I think tinder and okc may have banned you for idk....being transphobic maybe?

Now, I don't know where the toilet cubicle story was posted, but after a brief analysis I think the whole post there might have been satire. Perhaps that just my fraying optimism for humanity speaking, but from the overly dramatic descriptions of normal things, and the way there wasn't a single actual slur that I could see in the post, I feel like the post was made satirically. In fact, the poster seems to go to great lengths to never use any pronouns for the trans woman in the story, keeping from deliberate misgendering, which would be too far for the sake of a joke, and keeping from using proper womanly pronouns for her, so as not to give the game away.
I don't know for sure if it was satire or not, but I do hope it was and this lady wasn't actually treating a bathroom encounter with a trans person like the turning point in a horror film.
Edit: occured to me a literal minute after posting, but I suppose the satirical nature of the post doesn't really matter, since anything making fun of transphobia in this way can be so easily muddled into the vast ocean of transphobic material only a hairs breadth less ridiculous than the told story. I think that's like a law of the internet or something, where the more ridiculous and weird an ideology is, the harder it becomes to satirize it?
This might not even be relevant anymore since we all know political satire became redundant when Kissinger won the Nobel peace prize.

@The Werewolf of Somalia except that is not what happened, at all. This person just saw someone in the bathroom for a split second and assumed they were trans. The other person didn't do anything other than go to the bathroom like any other person would. She was just minding her business

@@fourleafclover2064 Exactly. The trans woman didn't even do anything. There's no way that the opposite would even know if she's trans.
@The Werewolf of Somalia I mean, I've been in bathrooms where burly cis men have come in to use the changing table. It's not a big deal, honestly. I have a lot of trauma around men, but public bathrooms are just, like, a get in get out sort of space anyway.
@The Werewolf of Somalia If this what you actually think trans women look like I will die of laughter dear lord
The "trans woman encounter" is written like a wildlife encounter I don't get it. Like do they not even see trans people... as people???? Yikes
And the fact that the poor woman was just minding her own. Like, she just wanted to pee and this idiot is treating her lesser than human. The cis woman is more of a menace than any trans woman at this point.
And no, I’ve come to realize that they really don’t see trans people as people. It’s absolutely horrifying.
Assuming it was real (and I don't) it feels like a phobe trying to justify their terror by the terror they experienced. "I was super scared so that's why I was scared. See how I suffer the trauma." It makes zero sense.
It honestly read like satire. Maybe the writer was an ally pointing out how ridiculous and hyperbolic transphobia is. That's what I'm going to tell myself anyway in order to keep having faith in humanity.
@@nickwittednonpareil That's what I thought too, especially the last line.
I'm a trans girl and idk? but I kinda do the same with cis people myself. Lol but my sister finds it kinda irritating. Lol
Oh so you’ve got to choose your entire career path by the age of around 14, but god forbid you make decisions about your gender before 21
And cis girls before 18 with parental permission can have plastic surgery and and chest reductions or chest implants, but trans men have to wait until 18 for top surgery (unless proven medically necessary) and trans women have to wait until 18 for implants and feminizing facial surgery. Totally not a double standard there.
@@rosieg6989 double standards yeah, both should be waiting for at least they become 18.
@@Anonymous-sq6eo While for surgeries I agree should wait until 18, life saving trans care like blockers should be allowed at puberty, and hrt at 16, otherwise the trans child will develop parts that are either irreversible or will need other surgeries. If a trans boy take blockers at 11, than hrt at 16, he'll never even need top surgery.
@@rosieg6989 puberty blockers should not be given to confused children that may or may not change their mind later on.
11 is not an age they should be taking such a huge life altering choice.
@@Anonymous-sq6eo Except they aren't just like "Mom, can we buy blockers?" They have to go see a therapist, their pediatrician, and a gender specialist, and only if all three agree can a kid get blockers, and the whole point of blockers is to just halt puberty, if at any point a kid realizes they aren't trans they can stop it and they'll go through puberty as normal.
I love how that post about the cis woman seeing a trans woman in the bathroom was literally "I was in the same restroom as a trans woman and literally nothing happend. It was terrifying."

Something I don’t hear brought up a lot is that the terf notion of ‘I’m a woman because I bleed/can have children’ doesn’t just hurt trans women but it can really hurt those AFAB trans people who can do this but have dysphoria. Like ‘You do this? You must be a woman’
Edit: spelling
Not to mention there are plenty of cis women who can't have children and any woman passed menopause won't experience a period.
@@Ikajo Not to mention cis women who just don't want to have children.
Imagine being such a "feminist' that you see women solely as uteruses on legs, with nonproductive units being fundamentally malfunctioning.
Oh yeah, terfs know this already - they just don't care. As this video shows, a lot of them see afab trans people as their "sisters" who just need to be convinced/coerced into detransitioning; they absolutely see afrab trans people having periods/getting pregnant as being "proof" that they're female.
And the Cis woman who struggle with invertility, inheritable diseases or damage or deformities to their reproductive tract, or just simply decided they don't want (to bear) children. They are still woman and nobody should think any less of a woman if they either don't want to, or cannot bear children!

Your videos about your transition have helped me learn about it.

The doctor said I was well informed and during my second appointment, they would let me start it! Thank you so much, Jamie!

To make an informed decision you also need to see the videos about trans people detransitioning. There are plenty. Then make a decision. There are no long term scientic studies done to prove the safety so be careful what you ask for.
@@ladivaeu7795 Oh, we have plenty of studies. A very small percent of trans people detransition, and quite often it's because of harassment they get.
Puberty blockers have decades of use, as they were in use for several other conditions.
Just because you can't find the safety studies doesn't mean that they aren't there. If you are honest about looking into this, then search harder. If you aren't, you might want to comment somewhere else.
The button at 6:02 ("Transmen Are My Sisters") looks more like someone who's trying to be a supportive ally but got confused on the transmen/transwomen terminology. They use the trans flag and a heart. ...I'm going to choose to believe it was someone who was a little confused, but got the spirit. For my own sanity.
The way that toilet experience was written reminded me of how I, a trans man who becomes clockable the moment he says something or the chesticles don't sit right in his binder, feel when I go to the men's bathroom. Waiting till the other men leave, gauging whether it is safe to come out of the stall. But the difference is that the cis men in the bathroom could be dangerous to me if they clocked me. The trans woman just wanted to pee.
Yep! I've been on T over a year and pass quite well casually. I *still* feel this way in busy gendered bathrooms. This story, flipped around, is a pretty accurate description of a trans person or gender non-conforming person in a bathroom of either gender.
Edit: Bathrooms are the one place where I still consistently experience dysphoria. I actively try to pee harder to make it sound more like a person standing and peeing and then sit there an extra few minutes to make it seem like I was doing #2. Which are contradictory efforts. lol And yet...
oh so you're genuinely at risk, but women and children are definitely not at risk cos all biological men in female clothes would never want to harm them and only want to pee? Like the men who insist on going to female prisons only want to do their sentence in peace? Apart from the ones who have gone on to rape female prisoners! And drag queens only want to read stories to children in drag queen story hour, apart from the ones who were convicted pedophiles!

Jamie’s choice to upgrade his PJ Top to a Shirt sounds both improbable (because it looks like a posh shirt) but also relatable.

I have a night dress that I wear as regular clothes, because besides it’s softness there isn’t anything about it that screams “pyjamas”
If I had that type of pajamas I would def upgrade it to shirt. Actually I am thinking about making a t-shirt out of an old nightgown as I don't wear nightgowns anymore but it has Minnie mouse print. No one would ever know except for you xD
As a seamstress I can tell you, if Jamie didn't point it out, I wouldn't have been able to tell (especially as the lapels don't have rounded edges, which is often done for PJs).
If you have high quality PJs (that aren't obviously PJ cut) and the people you meet don't have the same set at home, there is little chance anyone can tell. And probably even in the forementioned case they're more likely to think it just looks similar.
Right? I have a pair of posh pjs and the top looks like a shirt like Jamie's but I don't wear them because they're too posh to wear at home and it feels weird to wear them outside because what if people can tell 😂

I'm a cis woman and the best way I've found to "rationalise" cis and trans to anyone is comparing it to "short" and "small": I'm a small woman and my neighbour is a tall woman. we are both women. Short women are not the real women or vice versa. Hope this might help get it through to some people out there :)
I’m also a cis woman and I use the same comparison 🙂
@@twinning1944I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one and it makes sense to others too! it shows how transphobia is so unfounded and makes no sense. I'm not talking about people who have barely any education, if any, and who haven't received all the info because that is not a black and white situation.
I've used breast size as a comparison to engage the attention of jokers better, the people who are ignorant, but not intentionally malicious, and are more likely to pay attention if boobs are mentioned. Sometimes it seems to work a little, but I definitely think the height comparison is better in more polite company! It's a great technique, since it's objectively true, just like how trans women are absolutely women, but in a way nobody can use their political views to twist. The more tools we can acquire to face the transphobes with, the safer the world can become for our trans loved ones (naturally, which includes all trans people we don't personally know)!

8:43 they're just accidentally arguing for puberty blockers for everyone.
no but really they think inaction isn't a choice. i kind of get that because i used to feel that way and it is sort of easier on your mind to just let things happen. and when you think about other people making changes, it makes you think that you have to think about the possibility of making changes for yourself, which leads to panic. this is why i used to be against abortion. debating and having to give my reasons finally led me to realize my true reason and now i'm pro-choice because "abortion gives me anxiety" is not actually a good reason. i think the same thing is happening with a lot of transphobic ppl.
@Genevieve Pilz Maybe
If puberty blockers were truly risk free, I'd be down with it. Unfortunately there are risks. For trans children (and cis kids with precocious puberty) the risks of the medication are outweighed by the health benefits of using them. But the risks are enough currently to make having all children be on them not feasible given the relatively small percentage of people who are trans. Maybe in the future it will be a viable option.
@@CorwinFound

Conservatism, insofar as it is the political position of "things are perfect just as they are *do not* try to change them", does operate from the assumption that stasis is the natural state of things, and therefore only those seeking change are activists.

Umm? I don't get it what does what other people do with their bodies have to do with you?
You can do what you want with your body, changer your gender or not, gat an abortion or not.

But still trying to see how that works?
Cis woman here. When I was in school studying to become a medical assistant, my teacher invited a trans woman to come talk to us so we could have a better understanding of the struggles being trans can cause. The other cis women in my class freaked out about the possibility of using the bathroom at the same time as the trans woman. I was like, "It's the freaking bathroom. You're in separate stalls. What does it matter?" Turns out I was in the bathroom at the same time as the trans woman later that day. Guess what? I didn't care. I just went in, did my business, said "Hi" when she came to the sink beside me, and then went on with my life. The only reason I even remember the incident is because the other women were trying to figure out how I could be in the bathroom at the same time as a trans woman and not be traumatized. Um, because we're both women in a public womens' bathroom. Simple as that.
My friends 6 year old asked me “How his uncle became his aunt”? She is trans and came out about a year ago I told him “some times a girl soul gets put in a boy body and when this happens they might alter their body to align with their soul”. He was like “oh that make sense”. So a 6 year old gets it so how do these grown adults not.

In transvestigators' arguments, something they view as sin becoming common just means it's closer to the end of the world where all the people they hate go to h*ll.
Used to be they were all gay. That didn’t fly so now they’re all trans.
And for some reason we’re supposed to care.

Oh the horror, they'd have to refer to themselves in the 3rd person. Just name no pronouns
And what is even more hilarious to me personally is that personal and related pronouns are not the only types of pronouns. I'd very much like to see those people try avoiding relative pronouns and indefinite pronouns in particular.

I'm cis, and trans men are my brothers. I'm proud that Jamie is part of my gender.
Regarding dinosaurs, I wish they would give adults dinosaur bandages like they give to kids. One time, I got some blood drawn and they gave me a dinosaur bandage because they were out of the other kind. That was the most awesome thing ever! 🦕🦕🦕
Yeah, um, a little update here. Trans men are my brothers, but it turns out I'm their sister. I'm not cis, and Jamie is not part of my gender. (But he's doing a much better job of being a man than I ever did.)
I guess there's a reason I was watching so many trans creators a couple months ago. Yeah.

I was the 690th like. This is one of my greatest life achievements. And while I haven’t been alive for very long, this still feels both like an absolute win, but also a very strong defeat. I want to effect the world. Change the minds of transphobic individuals. Help people to enjoy life. I want to make the quality of life for LGBTQ individuals a lot better. Yet here I am. The most I have achieved is being lucky enough to be the 690th like on this video. Anyways great video Jamie!!
"A life well lived is the best revenge." As an older person who is still a baby trans, a word of advice. Don't try to change the world. You won't succeed. I'm not saying that you can't try to improve small and manageable bits, but laying the weight of ending discrimination on yourself is a burden no person should bear.
I'm struggling horribly with the idea that my chances of making perceptible differences on society at large are non-existent. I'm actively working to figure out how to manage my expectations in a way that doesn't paralyze me with feelings of failure.
Help one other trans person access medical care.
Have one good conversation with a potential ally.

People who object to "cis" just baffle me. "I'm not cis, I'm normal!" Like OK, are you bothered by being called right-handed if you're right-handed? Say it to yourself, "I'm not right-handed, I'm normal!" SO stupid.
Because you don't get to choose what I identify with seems like a common ground.
you can identity as anything you like and you also get to identity other people however you like ? what if i identify you as something insulting ? oh you offended now ? how much privilege do you want exactly ? SO stupid.

"Dinosars are cool transphobia is not" has won a place in my heart
My entire class:
Pronouns don't exist
My entire class in English:
*can't say what a pronoun is*
hateful people NEVER want to argue using logic, they're only driven by their hate
Meanwhile I'm over here trying to adapt a neopronoun from a constructed language to fit English. Language, like art and gender, is whatever you can get away with.
For those curious the pronoun I'm attempting to adapt is "ri," and it was first introduced to Esperanto as an analogue to the singular they around the mid-1970s. Although it's never been officially recognized by the Akademio de Esperanto it's been gaining traction among young Esperantists ever since. My goal is for linguistic purists to detonate upon being introduced to me.

That’s metal af
Someone on another one of Jamie's videos said something about "I don't need this cis pronoun". How can you be so wrong in just 6 words??
First, cis isn't a pronoun. It's a prefix, in this context shortened form of cisgender, meaning your gender identity and AGAB (or physical sex) align.
Nobody really needs to specify if they're cis or trans in day-to-day life, however it can be very much necessary in a medical context, among other things. Therefore it is very useful in certain situations.
At least do the enough research to understand what you're talking about before deciding to be mad at it.
Sorry, but when I read what they said I could only think of this:
"If you're going to insult me, do it correctly."

@@confusedarting8557 They're so phobic that they became the one thing that they feared the most: trans squared.
Hang on...if JK was edited on JC's body, does that mean she transitioned into man, or...? 🦖🦕💚
Or JC transitioned into a woman
The real question is
why are there the same transphobic people commenting on everything that is supposed to be positive or funny?
why are they even watching this??
half of them say they aren't transphobic, but why click on a trans meme-review just to comment crap on wholesome comments?
if you don't like trans folk, THEN DON'T SEEK THEM OUT
I love you. Keep on helping us understand and feel more comfortable. I don't think I'm transphobic, but the concept of trans is something I used to struggle with. I'm a 60yo gay man. I've had a couple of trans friends over the years (before the internet opened the world) and that helped. Again, I so appreciate your perspective, openness, and humor.
The toilet thing reminds me of a recent situation I found myself in. So before this situation I thought the girls talking to people in the toilets about their drama was a TV thing. Welp! I was stuck on the toilet overhearing drunk strangers gossip about their boyfriends for a good 15 minutes because I was way too socially anxious to leave the cubicle.
It might have been better if the instigator of this 15 minutes of gossiping didn't direct the original "Can I ask one of you something when you get out" at all of us using the toilets. But I knew the second I left while they were all still there, I'd have had to engage in uncomfortable unwanted conversation about people's love lives. No thank you!
Thankfully it wasn't nearly as terrifying of an experience as having to share the toilet with a trans woman was for that person, just really awkward and uncomfortable.
Oh it’s definitely a thing!
I’ve become short-term besties with countless women that way. The more alcohol, the more bestie.
It’s kinda pathetic and annoying if you’re sober.
So don’t be. 😂
3:05 I actually have an analogy for this. Imagine you have to move, and the only house you can move into is one you don't like for one reason or another. Now, for the sake of this argument, you own the house, meaning you have the freedom to customize it as you choose. So you paint the walls to a color you like better, you hire builders to add or remove rooms to better suit your purposes. No one else is living here, it's your house, yours is the only opinion that matters, you're working with professionals who know what they're doing so you don't screw up the plumbing or electricity or whatever.
You didn't like the house before, but you've fixed it up to be your own, and now it feels like yours. Now you wake up in the morning and feel good about where you live, because after so much time and work, you finally feel at home.
And the the homeowners association tells you that you're not allowed to do that because you have to keep your original house the way god intended
@@passionate_possum_pal Actually, I, at least, live in a pretty progressive city, the "homeowners association" here is actually willing to help bc they're NOT run by conservative christians
@@adrienstarfaer well that's very swag, I'm quite happy for you! I live in yeehaw country and while I can own chickens, I also might get hate-crimed so.. pros and cons yk
@@passionate_possum_pal Yikes, my sympathies
I really like that analogy. Everyone has the right to adjust their home in a way that makes them comfortable and happy to live there. It's nobody's business but their's and the same goes for your body. Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and happy in their own body and it's nobody else's business. I've always liked using analogies to explain things to people because relating to something that they do understand helps them relate to and accept the explanation if they are willing to listen and learn. If they don't want to learn then nothing will help.
2:23 if I was Mark Zuckerberg and saw this, I'd be like "Yes, I am trans. What about it?" because it'd be hilarious seeing people attempt to boycot my platform because they don't agree with trans people are actually humans too, and I'd love to see how long people survived not using it when it's generally some people's only social media presence.
Zuck would never.
As a trans woman I like to descend into the toilet through the vents and sit there hissing, clawing at the door latches as I leave
The last time I was this early, I thought I was straight.
The dramatization of a normal bathroom encounter was amazing. How did they survive??
you dont see a point in separating biological males from females ?
@@gustavohermandio1440 Honestly no. Everybody poops. But in this system that separates men’s and women’s bathrooms, trans people should use the one they feel most comfortable in. Should Jamie be in the women’s bathroom because he was assigned female at birth? Obviously not.
My question is- At 6:30, how do they know its a trans woman? It very well could've just been a cis woman, and that just seems like how I'd write my essay for English class when I need more words 😂
That's the thing: they don't know!
They just assume that they're trans if they have a masculine-ish body, even though some cis women can be very masculine looking. The fact that they don't actually know if someone's actually trans add to the ridiculousness of the situation.
@@Quesbe Same with the Zuckerberg thing. A lot of women have PCOS and can have these things due to hormone imbalances.
Yep. Exactly.
But it’s just as traumatic for phobes. Cuz that woman is obviously a lesbian and wants nothing more than to assault irresistible meee!
Phobes ain’t right.
In the US we send kids to war by 18 but god forbid anyone younger than 21 make choices about their identity.
Is it weird that I feel a little sad when bigots say they have/love dogs. First of all, I feel bad for the dog because they didn't have a choice in being stuck with a horrible person. Second, these people clearly have some capacity to care for living things, yet choose to be hateful towards people.
I wouldn't say that they necessarily have any capacity to care for living things. As sad as it is, I've seen far too many pet owners who "care" about their pets so much that they refuse to see them for the species they are. They feed them species inappropriate diets, make them wear clothes, manhandle them (like "pinch their cheeks") without caring whether the animal likes it or not, assign human motivation to them, etc. I wouldn't call interacting with a picture in your head instead of the living breathing creature "caring".
Dogs are cool, transphobia is not.
@@kaworunagisa4009 I feel like that's especially the case for exotic pets such as the chimpanzee that took Xanax and attacked someone. It was forced to wear clothes and was kept inside instead of letting it run free.
q angle is to do with the pelvis - AFAB people tend to have wider hips because of giving birth, and thus the angle their legs go inwards is slightly larger.
But with the photo, will all due respect, thats the worst damn argument I've ever seen, as it's to do with perspective. His left leg is more forwards, thus meaning it looks like it's going inwards. I think the post was made by a 2d person pretending to exist in a 3d world
Interestingly enough, there is some research indicating that trans people who do not undergo their natal puberty and have their puberty paused in the first stage that they will have develop a hip and pelvic structure like that of the opposite sex (with respect to their birth sex). This is if they undergo HRT.
akgfilming, I think you're on to something there. 2D people in a 3D world.
@@albedougnut hey, I already saw you twice before, albedo pfp friend; hi!
But yeah, that makes sense! Due to debates with some people before I know that one of the main side effects with puberty blockers is the fact that bone structure changes, so that makes sense!
So basically phrenology for pelvises instead of skulls.
AFAB people?... You mean women.
If anybody irl ever told me they have no pronouns, I would be sure to refer to them only by their name
“I loved Jimmy’s comment. Jimmy, I’d like to ask Jimmy: what hobbies does Jimmy like? I hope Jimmy doesn’t mind me following Jimmy. Jimmy sounds like Jimmy’s a good person.”

8:57 Sweet 16 nose jobs really did go 🫥 when that person was writing that
I make a point of following educational trans pages, and I know that a lot of uneducated people asking questions on those pages genuinely get confused about whether "trans man" means "assigned male but identifies as female" or "assigned female but identifies as male." So it's possible some people might mistakenly buy and wear the "trans men are my sisters" pin with the intention of being a genuine trans ally because they get confused about the terminology- thinking they're validating people who identify as women, when actually the pin undermines the identity of men.
I wish it wasn't so fucking hard to figure out who's transphobic and who's just uneducated but trying, but here we are.
Yeah, same. I get that some people might just not know any better, so when people call them out they get scared and become phobic.
I can't ever wrap my head around the mere concept of transphobia, like, someone wants to be a different gender than what they were born as? Ok thats fine and doesn't hurt anyone, so why so much hate?? and I swear if someone tries to justify this hate with something religious I'm going berserk 🦖
If the ABC community kept it to themselves nobody would care. But no, they demand their pronouns to be respected, they demand to be called women or men, when they’re the opposite, demand society and infrastructures to change in order to accommodate them, a fringe confused minority.
Same.

I'm 73 Female and a bit behind the times so I've had to google some of the terms used these days. Your open honest approach to the realities faced by those who don't fit rigid stereotypes is wonderful. Keep up the good work. When I was young we had kind of heard about "gay", but nothing else. What you do is important for the young people who don't have other resources that will help them understand themselves and others.
