I had a pride whopper with two top buns. Tasted about as bad as their burgers always do. I think an Asexual whopper without bread would be better because theirs is heinous
To be fair they can’t can’t understand the concept of Star Wars and Norse mythology either. “Fans” can’t even accept black people in main roles in Star Wars, or queer people in the thor movies, saying it’s “woke agenda” or whatever, I doubt they’d even make the effort to understand someone could be non-binary
Don't forget about Kingdom Hearts lore. I'm a nonbinary Kingdom Hearts fan (huge one btw), and even I don't understand that lore well. I just get the basics and go along with whatever each game tells me, bc there are so many retcons (big and small) that it makes no sense to say they share a timeline. I'd rather say that they are AUs such that each game is based upon an idealized version of the previous ones.
Oreos: "come out proud as an ally" Doesn't even include rainbows in their products, only a tiny one on the packaging. 👎 Skittles: releases white skittles because "in June, there's only one rainbow that matters", has actual LGBT+ people design the artwork for the packaging, financially supports relevant charities. 👍
@@abandoned_channel40822 ikr. I unfortunately wasn't able to find a bag of it in the supermarket and didn't have enough money to order a bag online at the time. Still like their campaign though ^~^
The America shirt is one you’d have to live in the states to get. It doesn’t match the pride aesthetic, but it DOES perfectly match all these awful black t-shirts with that font that MAGA-heads wear here. They all say crap like GOD GUNS AND GIRLS or AMERICAN AGGRESSION (not really but that’s what it feels like) and it perfectly matches that aesthetic. So I dig it for making conservatives go “oh you’re one of us OH WAIT.” 😂
It definitely nailed a Republican Trans vibe. I bet my trans daughter in Alabama would love wearing that one just for a laugh. She loves trolling people there.
I am American and I can’t wrap my head around that shirt, tbh. Because conservatives tend to hate trans people, so why on earth anyone who is trans and conservative (which still baffles me IS a thing; there’s at least two different trans conservative public figures) would want to advertise that fact to the world...
Whenever the Burger King ad is discussed people tend to forget that Austria is non an English-speaking country. In German we don't call it top bun and bottom bun so the whole double entendre doesn't exist. So, yes it is funny to think they put two tops and two bottoms together. But for them and their customers it's saying "You don't need two different pieces to make a bun, you can also have two of the same pieces."
I once saw a shirt on Wish that said something along the lines of "proud of my non-binary son" and it almost made me do a spit take ETA: I feel the need to add that I know that there are non-binary people who use gendered terms; everyone is different. I still refer to myself as "mum" when I'm talking to my cat. That's not the point. The point was that most enbies that I know of would cringe as much as I did when I first saw it.
i kind of like the american flag one, because it's a subversion of the typical US patriotic, christian, often transphobic and homophobic attitude that is so common here.
Exactly. I see people with stickers like that on their trucks but with messages harmful to society. This is definintely what Pride was about: subversion.
This is the same response I had to it. I think it's a great message to counteract the stereotype of the conservative american patriot. And i love anything that promotes being trans as what it is, completely normal.
so would I if the graphics on the shirt didn't look so conservative/transphobic lmao the idea of people thinking even for a second that I'm conservative makes me so extremely uncomfortable
@@catlovingnerd21 I think that's the point! It's saying "check your assumptions" to conservatives who think they know what being trans means when they really don't. As a trans person with a lot of conservative family and community members around, I would totally wear that.
They actually already do the two bottom buns here in the states for people with seed allergies. So my mom always orders her burger like that, and they do it, and she says it taste the same just without the seeds on top LOL
@@dfeuer Let me clarify, people who have mild allergies or who experience non-anaphylaxis food reaction (like my mom) can order two bottom buns lol I totally would not recommend this alternative for someone who is prone to anaphylaxis 👍
@@morganlock2072 Really? Is that a regional thing? I know some cities in Tennessee that have gluten free bread, but here in Georgia we're lucky to actually get them to do the bottom buns thing lol Fast Good is not very allergy friendly around here
I live in a very conservative area 😱. My granddaughter (14) was asked to set up a little booth at the park where the Pride walk ends. She makes these bookmarks with 5 gems. She decided to make them with the Pride rainbow, bi flag colours and Trans flag colours. She sold more of the ones with the Trans colours than the others. Then she donated some money the Pride Organization.
I’ve seen those rainbow sausages before (on the internet) but only just now realized they’re from Loblaws, which means this most likely was here in Canada and I’m very upset that I never saw them in person! I wouldn’t buy them nor eat them but I would’ve love to have seen them in the wild
It makes me wonder if anyone has tried to create rainbow eggs to match. It would be heinous, but interesting. Next step, "Green eggs and rainbow ham" XD RAINBOW EVERYTHING!
I think (hope, really) that what's going on is they're adding vegetables (as in, edible things) with different colors. I've seen orange burgers (with carrot) and green ones (with spinach) - the one of each that I tried tasted kinda bad but at least I can half hope that those sausages were given those colors through edible, even healthy ingredients, and not chemical coloring agents.
It comes in a pack of 6 we can make it pride colours! Uh, your realize that sausages are shaped like a penis right? Did this conversation not happen, or was it decided that this was an amusing double entendre? Pride sausage orgy! At least they’re wearing a casing/condom! Be safe!
I think the sausage one is kinda genius. Sausages already have gay connotation in media, but the shape also makes it so the rainbow is actually arching!
the part of the Bible that condemns same sex stuff also says you can't eat pork and when I was like 12 I thought the slogan 'if i can have my sausage, they can too' was a good slogan to who i was an ally and that's what these make me think of.
It's the sort of thing that is adorably genius but my brain also hates it because it is food I don't think I could make myself eat. (Although I do remember eating green eggs and ham as a kid so maybe it would be fine?) It reminds me of the Halloween treats people where making where they made red rice crispy treats and wrapped them in packaging so they look like ground beef from the super market. I know that the food is perfectly fine, I watched them make it, but they did such a good job making it look like raw meat I could not eat it.
As an enby, I kinda have to defend the gendered t-shirts A LITTLE. I’m transmasc non-binary and when I first started transitioning and wearing “men’s” clothing figuring out what size I wore in men’s was a nightmare. I would have loved an option to buy a non-binary flag tee in a woman’s size because I already knew that size. Shout out to Target, by the way, for labeling some of their clothes (hopefully one day ALL of their clothes) with both what size they are in women’s and what size they are in men’s as well. Good stuff. 👍🏻
@@vxicepickxv And why don’t women’s shoes go to larger sizes not just for transwomen but for enbies, too? I started T and my feet went up a size and now I’m in a 13 in women’s which virtually NOBODY makes except ONE company I found, and they’re orthopedic shoes. I wear a 10.5 in men’s and can find that size ALL DAY.
@@vxicepickxv They have different proportions. I'm a woman, but I buy boys (not mens) sneakers because the arch is in the right place and the appropriate width is easier to find. PS my feet are big enough to wear men's sizes but the arch isn't in the same place as boy's sizes.
Lol that "American made..." pride Tshirt 100 percent gives off a strong super-nationalistic/ religious vibe that's commonly associated with ignorant conservatives in America so seeing that vibe (font, textures, colors, phrasing, tone) on a pride shirt is odd to say the least. Honestly i find it artistically fascinating.
I personally love taking conservative-looking or generally patriotic things and making them super gay and progressing, to really mess with right-wingers. I have an American flag necklace that I've added some pride charms to for this purpose
I like to think the Harry Potter post was more like a... middle finger to the author and an attempt to distance from her views. Like, let's separate the piece from the creator. I don't think the people behind the play has to do any reparations for something someone else did. That's JKR job.
I also hate that the author who must not be named gets the credit of writing the play when all she did was approve the stage play two other people wrote. Cursed Child is basically Fan fiction that had the creators stemp of approval, sadly that didn't age for them well. There are so many people involved in the Potter franchise and a lot of queer people, even trans people loved those books. For me they where a life line when I suffered from depression as a teenager. It was a world I always felt save in. I am pansexual and agender so I am neither straight nor cis and I also talked with my trans friends about this, we agreed that we will distance ourselves from the creator. We will not buy merchandise that's official and if we do or get it gifted (i love lego and people live to give me harry potter lego) i have to donate the same amount of money to a trans support group/organisation. We will write the queerest fanfictions we can and we will participate in the fandom only in inclusive spaces and we will not let a bigot take hogwarts away from us! We will make harry potter our own! "The author is dead" so I can interpret the work like I would an that is inclusive and way more queer xD I love it when ghe actors or people who worked with something harry potter related celebrate pride and condeme what "you know who" says. I also think the pride flag was ment like that
I totally get what you mean about the "American & Transgender" shirt, it's pride merch apparently, but looks like something a right-winger or patriot would wear. That also makes it kind of funny though.
If you live in a part of the country where you're outnumbered by the kind of people who are deeply offended by pride in general you kind of have to adopt that attitude. It can be fun too
Just a reminder Trans fems, you look pretty and I hope you have a good day Trans mascs, you look handsome and I hope you have a good day People outside the binary, you look positively perplexing and I hope you have a good day Xenogender people and non dysphoric trans people, your gender is valid and I hope you have a good day Allys, I can’t tell you how much the little things mean and I hope you have a good day (If this made your day please let me know it means a lot)
I actually feel like every time I see something LGBTIQA+ positive related to HP, I feel really glad. It’s a massive fuck you to JK Terfling. It’s our sandbox now. Here in Melbourne the main role in Cursed Child was played by a transmasc non-binary queer person and I was so happy. JK might have started this world and she continues to do unforgivable harm to trans people but there are massive numbers of queer and trans people in the fandom and in the professional side of things and her voice isn’t as loud as theirs are.
That's cool about the trans actor! Unfortunately JKR will still get the money from the Cursed Child ticket sales, which is why I will never personally buy tickets for the play, the Fantastic Beasts movies or the theme park. I won't even go to Disney Land because the tickets include her park and that's her main money maker.
@@RB-em8jy ??? I’m a bit confused about your Disneyland comment. I mean, I get not going to Disneyland in addition because Disney has their own huge bucket of issues, but HP is not one of them. The Wizarding World is over at Universal Studios, which is one of their primary competitors. A normal day ticket (or even park hopper ticket) wouldn’t include HP. The only way you’d get both of them was if there was a promotion where multiple competitors were pooling together tickets, and I seriously doubt those happen often. Edited to add a couple words to hopefully help clarify my thoughts. I have my own things I’m boycotting (including HP and at least pulling back on Disney). I just find it nonsensical to boycott one company for what a different company is doing and haven’t regularly seen any tickets that would include both.
the "american and transgender" t-shirt was definitely a joke and satirizing the american patriotic/conservative culture by making it trans-inclusive, and it's honestly the best thing I've ever seen in my life
I mean, it's a company that makes grooming supplies, so I can understand that the way they use the word is specific to that. But did NO ONE in the entire ad development process not see the problem?
@@gise230207 Basically, a lot of homophobes and transphobes call us groomers, because a groomer is another word for a pedo that preys on young children. They think we prey on children and turn them gay or trans, or actually thinks we're pedos. So, for a grooming company to say "Groom with Pride", is incredibly offensive to us.
I'm American. that "American by birth, transgender by the grace of God" is the funniest shit I have ever heard because that is exactly how a proud American evangelical would talk about being trans. I know I'm not the only American obsessed with that shirt because it's exactly the kind of language I heard growing up in a Christian setting
@@lorifiedler13 You know that using the word 'evangelical' as a synonym of a Christian is not correct? Also, my friend is a demisexual demigirl whose almost all friends are LGBT+ and their faith is very strong. So yeah, stop dividing people into two strictly defined boxes.
I have a t-shirt that I love that says ‘Wingaydeum Lesbiosa’ I love it because my kids surprised me with it for my birthday a couple of years back and it made me laugh. However it got immediately ruled out for pride and honestly I’m not sure when I last wore it, it feels icky. Since the gift my youngest has come out as trans am it feels like I’m betraying them if I wear it. It sucks so much that a story that gave so much to so many is now forever tainted.
OMG thank you so much for the good timing, sorry for the negativity but you are one one of my comfort youtubers, just today i came out to my mum as non-binary and immediately got told "im not doing any of that pronouns bollocks".. i didnt mention pronouns at all (i use any pronouns), but just knowing that she wouldnt care to do that anyways isnt helping, aswell as how she would cut me off as soon as i tried to talk with her abt it, she said she accepted it but i doubt with how she acted that shes going to use anything but son, boy, man, he/him. ive been crying for ages today. again, sorry about the negativity, but thanks so so so much.
Don't let this drag you down. Let it toughen you up - harden your heart towards your mother, not out of malice, but out of self-protection. Her reaction was hostile. So yes, you _should_ be crying because you're mourning. You're mourning that your mother isn't who you thought or hoped she would be. But, it's much better _and_ much healthier to acknowledge the reality of who she really is. And who she really is, is a woman who loves her ideology more than her child. That's how you need to treat her from now on. So have a good long cry. By yourself, away from her or anyone else who would invalidate your pain. That's how you "get over" emotions: by _feeling them_ and expressing them (in an appropriate manner in a safe place), which releases them and lets go of them.
As a fellow nonbinary person with a transphobic mom, I can relate to you. You don't need to apologize for expressing your sadness: being sad is a part of life, especially if you're LGBT+ in an allocisheteronormative world. Rest assured that even though your mom, a single individual, doesn't accept you, thousands upon thousands of Queer people and our Allies will do so wholeheartedly. Count me in among those.
I'm so sorry, I love the pride whopper and the pride sausage. They're so funny, I would buy it. Actually, I want the rainbow sausages all year around, so I can only serve rainbow sausages at barbecue parties, without saying anything. Also, for JKR, her pen name is literally the name of the psychiatrist who invented conversion therapy (for all LBGTQ+ people) by electrical stimulation to the brain :) What a coincidence (/s) So, even the non-inclusive flag wouldn't be okay, imo
First off same. Rainbow sausages year round. Second, that is an interesting fact. Also imo, there shouldn't be a flag for people who are non-inclusive. Just give them a name tag that says "Hello. I am a non-inclusive person who believes that people are not equal. Please stay away from me."
If by "non-inclusive flag" you mean the six-stripe rainbow flag, I would probably use a different phrase, since that one was always meant to be inclusive of the larger community. The one the Cursed Child account used is known as the "progress flag," so maybe you could say "non-progress flag"? Or, for something that makes sense without knowing that context, just "six-stripe flag" works. Also I agree, rainbow sausages are probably some of the funniest things to serve to unwitting barbecue guests.
Very well done, Jamie. I like you showcasing all the different Pride merch we saw and have seen. As far as the last one goes I completely agree with you that it's a little tone deaf. It's like Chick-fil-A coming out with pride merchandise. I don't care how the individual people who work in the restaurants feel or are members of the lgbtqia community, but the Cathy family is incredibly homophobic and people know it.
There were and are literally hundreds of people involved in the Wizarding World franchise, and afaik only one of them is (publicly) open about her transphobic views. Why *should* they let Rowling's bigotry stop them from being supportive? If anything, I think that if they hadn't posted anything pertaining to Pride at all, people would have assumed that the franchise as a whole is on board with the author's transphobia.
As someone who lived in Mississippi through the 90's, I feel like I an provide some context for the American/trans shirt. "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God," is a not-uncommon phrase to see on shirts, mugs, etc. in the US Deep South (TM). Back when it was more acceptable to do so, the two flags featured were the American and... another one specific to the region. Though modern mainstream products may not show the "regional" flag as much any more, the phrase itself is still a bit of a dog whistle. So, ya. The shirt here was either designed by someone who doesn't know how people use this phrase, or it was an attempt to reclaim it maybe? Either way, folks should know its history of being associated with people who hold harmful views when making a choice about whether or not to use it.
Yeah. Also nice to meet a fellow mississippian. At least one that actually accepts the LGBTQ+ community and doesn't try converting them to Christianity.
@@demon-misery7 Nice to meet you, too! Ya, I was fortunate enough to have moved to the Gulf Coast at age 10. It's a very different world from the interior of the state because of the cultural influence from New Orleans. I hope you have a safe space where ever you may be.
People still fly the "regional" flag and the national flag together in North Carolina. Interesting to hear what they do in other parts of the South. I've never seen that phrase used commonly, but maybe it's just because I grew up in the Appalachia.
@@phoneheaded Thanks for giving and Appalachian perspective! I've spent some time in North Carolina and Tennessee, but not enough to feel like I can speak for the area.
TL; DR I'm nonbinary, so I think I can explain to y'all what "having a nonbinary identity" means and feels like to me. Buckle up, bc this is gonna take a long time... First and foremost, due to my Autism/ADHD, I have an inherently vague sense of self, that feels always kinda disconnected from social constructs. I sometimes even forget that saying something with your thoughts isn't the same thing as doing so with words, even though I can perfectly hear the words I think I'm saying 😂 I always knew that I'm a male human (i.e someone born with a penis and not intersex), but I've always related VERY deeply to incorporeal beings and other such creatures, bc they transcend ordinary human understandings of, among other things, mind-body, tangible-intangible, Self-Other and masculinity-femininity. Those boundaries are not always clear-cut to me, especially in the last two cases. I find the idea of gender as a whole to be EXTREMELY weird/interesting: why would someone's genitals affect how they treat and are treated by others? How have ideas of gender evolved over time in different cultures? I know that most of society perceives me as cis and I'm (mostly) ok with that. I'm a masculinely-presrnting male, after all, and masculine-gendered words don't bother me: I quite often use them to refer to myself, and my pronouns are they/he. It's worth noting that whenever someone who doesn't know my gender refers to me as a "man", "boy" etc. I either laugh on the inside or feel misgendered, depending on my level of stress. My "default" gender identity is almost all nonbinary, with some non-neglegible degree of masculinity, but the more stressed out I am, the more distanced from social constructs (especially gender) I feel. So, to sum up, nonbinary identities can be hard to understand even to enbies themselves, because they result from fundamentally neurodivergent thought processes that make those who have them naturally able to experience certain social constructs "from above", so to speak. Binary-gendered folks can respect us and empathize with us, but unless their brain chemistry changes massively for a while, they won't be able to accurately know how enbyhood feels like.
@@enbyarchmage I don’t know if one can claim that all people who identify as Nonbinary are automatically neurodivergent. That hasn’t really been proven in any significant way. While I, personally, am both (Agender with ADHD), I don’t quite think that my gender identity is the result of my neurodivergence, and while being neurodivergent _might_ make you more likely to identify as nonbinary, I don’t think it’s necessarily a requirement. I understand gender, for the most part, and why people identify as binary genders, but calling myself a “girl” or a “woman” has just never felt 100% right, even if that’s what I was told I was. I knew I wasn’t a man, though, so I just kinda went along with being a woman, as I thought that was the only other option for most of my life. I was a woman “by default,” as it were. Then, I learned about nonbinary/genderqueer identities in my late 20s, and that really resonated with me. It still took a bit of soul searching before I finally came out as nonbinary at the age of 30, but I just found that identifying outside of the gender binary felt the most correct for me. It made me feel much more at home in my skin, like I was finally expressing my true self, rather than just playing a role that was expected of me. While I know that most people will still see me as cis, it doesn’t really bother me most of the time, because I know who I am, and so do the people who matter to me in my life. ☺️ (Plus, I use all pronouns, they/she/he, so misgendering doesn’t happen often. The only time I kinda cringe is if I’m referred to specifically as a girl, woman, miss, etc. That’s a little harder to ignore for me. 😅)
@@enbyarchmage I am agender but not neurodivergent. I've always been very bad at socialisation and emotions tho. My lack of gender is caused by my confusion with gender as a concept. Like how I'm supposed to know what gender am I? I'm biologically female but I don't feel that way. I don't feel male either, as well as non-binary. I'm just me without those strange emotions and understanding of social concepts. I've been that way my whole life and only about a 9 month I understood why am I the way I am. I like to be perceived as a neutral-looking/androgyne woman tho. My point is you don't need to have some condition to be non-binary or agender. Gender is a very vague social construct which different people understand differently
@@thedork9754 I meant neurodivergent in the broadest sense of the word: with some observable difference in brain structure that causes a person to have statistically uncommon traits (e.g being transgender). I did not mean to imply that only people with a formal diagnosis of ADHD, autism etc. can be enbies. Sorry 😅
@@enbyarchmage okay, at first glance i thought to myself "huh, this description is very similar to a friend's. What a coincidence" until i saw the OP and got a minor shock. Nice seeing you here ;)
Is not something new to know that brands use the "special" days to grind and win more money, is a marketing strategy I think people should know by now and don't be upset, people make the brands do that.

The McFlurry one is something I genuinely love and appreciate. As a former McDonald’s employee and someone who loves dipping fries in my mcflurries, I take it as a “hey, you can’t change what you love, whether that’s both men and women or enbies or one or the others or even if it’s dippin yer fries in your ice cream, it doesn’t matter what others think, as long as it’s right for you”
The one company whose pride commercial I've seen and actually liked is for the app/website Indeed, and I loved them because of how subtle and casual the support for LGBTQ+ people was.
As someone who studies anthropology and culture, it’s very interesting to see how the culture changes as there is broader trans awareness and acceptance. It’s literally just, intriguing. I think that the “trans by the grace of god” one might actually, genuinely be something that some southern trans folks would buy. The aesthetic you’re referring to, I think it’s a cultural thing. And that rugged, faded aesthetic with American flags everywhere is very popular in the south.

Congratulations 🍾🎉 🙂 You have plenty to celebrate! I have to enjoy it all virtually via Twitter and it’s still awesome. Thank god for social media. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Hey Jammi! Thanks to you, I realized I was genderfluid but on the more male part of it (hard to explain lol). You are a huge inspiration. I recently came out as genderfluid to my dad as well with being pansexual and demisexual. You inspire me so much.
Corporations need to create a division whose sole function is analyzing marketing of the brand and preventing stuff like the Burger King thing and the Every Man Jack tweet. Another one I know of is a car (I think Chevy, but can't remember) that is called Nova, which if your only language is Spanish, likely won't seem appealing for a car. Nobody wants a car named "Doesn't go".
There are ad agencies who can be hired for that kind of assignment. Mostly they specialize in cultural awareness, and regionalizing ads, but surely they could be hired for this kind of task. All someone needed to do was type the words individually into a search engine.
To be fair about the T- shirts, "men's" and "woman's" sizing have more to do with the fit than the gender of the wearer. I'm a cis woman with plenty of "men's" shirts because I like the roomy-ness. Another perspective I saw was that those shirts could be for cis allies that want to be supportive.
But tbh, that just goes to show that categorising a certain fit as "man" or "woman" is just ridiculous. Clothes should be categorised by fit, be it slim or wide. To the other point, I'm not sure how others feel, but as a non-binary person myself I'd be surprised to see an ally with that shirt 😅 Like I'm sorry, I would just assume they're non-binary, because why would they wear that
Unfortulately for the fit, men's sizes start bigger, not only differ in fit, so I can't wear any of them unless I want a tunic.. I can wear some boys' shirts though lmao
It looks like those mens/womans non-binary flag shirts came from one of those websites like redbubble where artists create and upload a t-shirt design and the company prints it out on their products for the customer. Even the pictures look like a models were photoshopped into the clothes. So the artist designing it wouldn’t have any control over how the product sizing works, it’s just a matter of how the company’s website works

As a queer bottom; i love the top bun and bottom bun whopper thing xD Sure its focused on the LG side only but its still hilarious and apropos to many of us cuz of what else Top and Bottom mean to a lot of queers.
Honestly, as a transmasc person, I didn't really mind the Cursed Child tweet that much. I mean, I can see why the backlash happened but...no one involved in the Broadway production (or any production, or any aspect of the entire franchise) can help the fact that Rowling is an unapologetic TERF - no one apart from Rowling herself, that is - and I don't really think its fair to say these people, the vast majority of whom have likely never even met her, have to apologise for her simply for being associated with the franchise she created. To me, that's like saying Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson should have to publicly apologise every time Rowling sticks her foot even further into her mouth despite the fact that her views have already been established to definitely not be theirs. You don't demand an entire community to constantly be having to apologise for the actions of a rogue few. Personally, I saw the picture as essentially saying that those involved with the Broadway production are more than happy to stand by the LGBT+ community, *including* trans people (especially since Broadway is generally a lot more trans-inclusive than the theatrical community is here in the UK - it's still not great by any means, but at least they haven't had the biggest producer of theatrical works in America publicly state that they'd never cast an openly trans performer as a cis character (so...literally every single character) in one of their shows because it would be a gimmick that diminishes the story telling...unlike Cameron Mackintosh saying exactly that with regards to his numerous shows in the UK a couple of years ago) despite Rowling's TERFness and were using the picture to actively distance themselves from said TERFness. I'm not saying anyone has to agree with me and, like I said, I can see why the backlash happened but...I'm sort of willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with this one.
@@SuperJJParker It's short for transmasculine. It's basically an umbrella term for people (generally those assigned female at birth) whose gender is typically more aligned with male than female, but it includes nonbinary/genderfluid people as well as those who are transmen.
I need more of these because there are SO MANY of these companies who try and do pride stuff but literally do nothing the rest of the year to support the community. It’s extremely annoying and manipulative in my opinion.
I personally think it's supportive in cases like the Whopper ad and the rainbow profile pics. For an entire month, businesses put out there that they acknowledge and respect LGBTQ+ folk, and the community can look around and see how acceptance is growing. It's like wearing poppies for Remembrance Day; people who don't spend much, if any, time thinking about the world wars collectively show their acknowledgement and respect on November 11. Businesses can't be LGBTQ+, they're not people, but they show their support every June. Just because they don't do it all year, doesn't necessarily mean they don't mean it. So long as they don't negate that respect with their words or actions the rest of the year, which is disingenuous for sure.
At least I think it was for the supreme court ruling. It may have just been pride month. I honestly can't remember, it's been so long. No I didn't try one.
for the shirts, it's probably from a print on demant site i sell a lot on several (mainly zazzle, mostly pronoun pins) and they don't let you change the product name ("woman's shirt"), just add your "title"before it so it's probably just a small artist who was trying to make pride items more accessible and it makes me sad so many people think it was intentional they use stock photos and just put your art on them, so even the models have no idea (if it WAS done intentionally then that's not good obviously but like, i don't think it was)
Print-on-demand sites have long had problems like this. Designers using the platform who want to market to a niche audience run into the gendered product issue, a lack of diversity in models, etc. The sites are clearly built around the idea that their main audience are white, cisgender, heterosexuals. I understand that upgrading a site can be a nightmare for them, but they really do create the impression that they just can't be bothered.
@@teek1917 oh yeah i agree, what i was saying is that it's not the artists fault what the site does like that and it's weird everyone is blaming the artist (i've seen this specific picture going around for several years now so for all we know it may already have been fixed!) zazzle has done some good things, they have POC models and they stand for Black Lives Matter and stuff like that, which is why I mainly sell there - because overall, they seem like one of the better options that I've found
@@SkwithOv I'd say there's some blame for both. Zazzle knows it has a problem, and designers need to be aware of that problem. Although in fairness, I quit them some time ago (around 2018?) After four years of getting nowhere I realized there was just no point in my trying to sell my work through print on demand sites anyway, and Zazzle was making changes that gave me the push I needed to leave.
I'm trying to broaden my understanding of Trans identities and your content helps. It's both informative and educational. Thanks for what you do, keep up the good work.
I have a fun story about the whiskey shirt. I work at Spencers in the US that's just like a novelty shop and had a man walk in wearing that shirt. He told me he was looking for pride merch to give to his daughter as a birthday present since he knew she was a lesbian. I showed him what we had and he told me he was doing this to be supportive since he hadn't been apart of his daughters life almost at all and she's 23 and moving closer to him so they could grow closer. I don't know the details of why they weren't apart of her life but the fact he was showing support and trying like that is awesome. So seeing that shirt for me is seeing that dude attempting to understand his daughter.
Also feel the need to point out that Cursed Child basically has a ‘no homo’ scene shoehorned in at the end. It basically seems to be ther just to stop people who ship Albus and Scorpius from thinking that their ship might be canon.
Aaaaaa that sounds awful Why do they feel the need to do that? I mean I get when a ship isn't canonically possible because of a Canon ship in the piece of media but, like, going out of your way to tell the shippers their ship isn't canon IN THAT WAY??? Why even bother?? If the ship isn't harmful in any way why do that?? Even if it contradicts a canon ship why would that be a problem??
My dad has matching shirts with his best friend that have the "I like my whiskey straight" one on it and I think it's great lmao. He sent it to me before he bought it and asked if it was offensive and I said I didn't think so but it was definitely strange lmao
I think it’s great that he checked in with you. 🙂 If there’s some message behind whiskey drinking preferences, I’ve yet to come across them. (Tell your dad it’s a Skinny Jack for me. 😂)
I just have to share, I work for one of the most progressive nurseries I've ever come across. We had a parent complain TODAY (13th July) that they weren't informed we were celebrating pride in June as they would have chosen to take their child out of the setting for the month 😑 my lesbian manager took the opportunity to lead that conversation about inclusivity and the right for every child to feel welcome, including those with LGBTQ+ parents, at the very least.
I love the American flag shirt one. It's a subversion of typical conservative apparel and definitely done ironically, but it is also a reminder that anybody who claims to be patriotic should strive for their country to be an accepting, safe place for everyone who lives there, not just the people that religious conservatives like. It makes them uncomfortable and exposes their hypocrisy 😊
In Brazil there's a traditional dessert/snack which consists of cheese and guava marmalade and we call it Romeo and Juliet. A few years ago Burger King made a campaign with a Sundae with Romeo and Juliet topping and it stated that Romeo and Romeo (double cheese) and or Juliet and Juliet (double guava marmalade) was also ok. I think that was really nice. Haha
7:17 - I do get what you're saying, Jamie, but I like to think of this as a 'Stealth Pride' t-shirt. I feel like you could sneak up a group of typically right-wing, confederate flag-waving folks and blend in for a while, before they actually read the words, put them all together and went "Heyyy.... waaaaait, noooo!!" It'd at least be useful for standing next to Westboro Baptist Church members when they're waving their anti-LGBTQ+ banners at some protest or other.
I get your reaction about the Cursed Child tweet but I also think that it's a very nice step by these people, who might not have much freedom of speech in that regard if they want to keep their job in the play (I don't know, but I can imagine). They did come forward and clearly raised a middle-finger at JKR with the trans lines on the Pride flag.
I'm AFAB and non-binary and I kind of appreciate them having a "women's" shirt instead of just a unisex shirt because they fit me much better and are more my style. They maybe could have labeled them as fem and masc or curvy and straight instead tho
Hey Jamie, you might not see this but just wanted to say thanks for making me laugh and smile cause I have been going threw some mental issues recently, so your videos and one topic at a time videos have been helping me through it, so thank you.
Yeah this is one of the few trans channels I watch anymore, there's a lot less hate and brigading here than on channels like Samantha Lux or Sam Collins. That doesn't mean there isn't still hate and brigading though, unfortunately :(
6:00 As an enby myself, I have no issue with the men's/women's enby flag shirt. The male/female thing just refers to the cut of the shirt, and it's useful information to have when choosing which style you want. It'd be more appropriate if they had both cuts on both models, but you know neither of those models ever wore the shirt, right? Edit: also, that Harry Potter thing? Seriously, learn to separate the art from the artist. All you do when you create a monolith of a widely popular IP is create more hate and fighting where there doesn't need to be any. You basically made the argument that a church flying a progress flag should be criticized for being vaguely connected to bigots, and that's a shitty attitude to have.
Besides being funny, the nonbinary "women's" or "men's t-shirts are of course called that for obvious reasons. But they do raise a good question: why can't we change language to better convey the same information? Why not instead something like t-shirts with a contoured chest and a flat chest?
I totally agree, but I'm not sure if flat chest and contoured chest would work because "mens" and "womens" t-shirts differ in waist tapering as well. Maybe just "contoured" and "not contoured" would work? I'm not sure, but I like your idea
@@toast8974 maybe, but then we would get into issues surrounding body sizes. Especially because slim fit and wide fit are used to mean other things in the same context. That is an interesting idea though
@@casualcrossovers6987 I guess it needs a bit of workshopping, but it shouldn't be too hard to settle on a couple of good memorable names for the different cuts.
I guess I've always thought this but for some reason the thought tickled my conscious brain today... But Jamie has a very cool and aesthetic sense of style. (There are probably more posh words than "cool and aesthetic" but I'm non native and my brain is currently not functioning properly.)

The fact that people can understand Star Wars and Norse Mythology and not the concept of Non-Binary. That’s it. That’s the comment.
To be fair they can’t can’t understand the concept of Star Wars and Norse mythology either. “Fans” can’t even accept black people in main roles in Star Wars, or queer people in the thor movies, saying it’s “woke agenda” or whatever, I doubt they’d even make the effort to understand someone could be non-binary
Arguably, if your concept of gender is rigid, you won't be able to understand Norse myth.
Don't forget about Kingdom Hearts lore. I'm a nonbinary Kingdom Hearts fan (huge one btw), and even I don't understand that lore well.
I just get the basics and go along with whatever each game tells me, bc there are so many retcons (big and small) that it makes no sense to say they share a timeline. I'd rather say that they are AUs such that each game is based upon an idealized version of the previous ones.
If they get norse mythology, then they do get non-binary, just look at Loki... if Loki isn't non-binary then I'll eat my drinking horn...

The America shirt is one you’d have to live in the states to get. It doesn’t match the pride aesthetic, but it DOES perfectly match all these awful black t-shirts with that font that MAGA-heads wear here. They all say crap like GOD GUNS AND GIRLS or AMERICAN AGGRESSION (not really but that’s what it feels like) and it perfectly matches that aesthetic. So I dig it for making conservatives go “oh you’re one of us OH WAIT.” 😂
Yeees exactly. I am not from the US but I thought the same, maybe Jammie didn't get it because he is not used to see these shirts on conservatives
It definitely nailed a Republican Trans vibe. I bet my trans daughter in Alabama would love wearing that one just for a laugh. She loves trolling people there.
Exactly. I think he picked up on the contrast but might not have immediately picked up on why it looks so wrong, which is fair.
I am American and I can’t wrap my head around that shirt, tbh. Because conservatives tend to hate trans people, so why on earth anyone who is trans and conservative (which still baffles me IS a thing; there’s at least two different trans conservative public figures) would want to advertise that fact to the world...
Yeah, I actually bought that shirt to wear as a troll move, and my mom (bless her heart) 100% thought I was being serious. Whoopsie! 😅
Whenever the Burger King ad is discussed people tend to forget that Austria is non an English-speaking country. In German we don't call it top bun and bottom bun so the whole double entendre doesn't exist. So, yes it is funny to think they put two tops and two bottoms together. But for them and their customers it's saying "You don't need two different pieces to make a bun, you can also have two of the same pieces."
Thank you for explaining! It's a very sweet and nice concept.

It also says being trans is the will of God specifically, not an act of defiance
Exactly. I see people with stickers like that on their trucks but with messages harmful to society. This is definintely what Pride was about: subversion.
Yes! Exactly! Thank you for recognizing the message. I want that shirt. - signed, a trans guy raised by conservative christians
This is the same response I had to it. I think it's a great message to counteract the stereotype of the conservative american patriot. And i love anything that promotes being trans as what it is, completely normal.

It makes me wonder if anyone has tried to create rainbow eggs to match. It would be heinous, but interesting. Next step, "Green eggs and rainbow ham" XD RAINBOW EVERYTHING!
@@ange76prkr I'm pretty sure I've seen rainbow cloud eggs at some point, but not in a grocery store setting.
I think (hope, really) that what's going on is they're adding vegetables (as in, edible things) with different colors. I've seen orange burgers (with carrot) and green ones (with spinach) - the one of each that I tried tasted kinda bad but at least I can half hope that those sausages were given those colors through edible, even healthy ingredients, and not chemical coloring agents.
It comes in a pack of 6 we can make it pride colours!
Uh, your realize that sausages are shaped like a penis right?
Did this conversation not happen, or was it decided that this was an amusing double entendre?
Pride sausage orgy!
At least they’re wearing a casing/condom!
Be safe!
I think the sausage one is kinda genius. Sausages already have gay connotation in media, but the shape also makes it so the rainbow is actually arching!
it was unironically kinda pretty
the part of the Bible that condemns same sex stuff also says you can't eat pork and when I was like 12 I thought the slogan 'if i can have my sausage, they can too' was a good slogan to who i was an ally and that's what these make me think of.
4:00 but how do you know when the green/blue sausage is off (ok, smell, but that might not always change as obviously fast)
It's the sort of thing that is adorably genius but my brain also hates it because it is food I don't think I could make myself eat. (Although I do remember eating green eggs and ham as a kid so maybe it would be fine?)
It reminds me of the Halloween treats people where making where they made red rice crispy treats and wrapped them in packaging so they look like ground beef from the super market.
I know that the food is perfectly fine, I watched them make it, but they did such a good job making it look like raw meat I could not eat it.
As an enby, I kinda have to defend the gendered t-shirts A LITTLE. I’m transmasc non-binary and when I first started transitioning and wearing “men’s” clothing figuring out what size I wore in men’s was a nightmare. I would have loved an option to buy a non-binary flag tee in a woman’s size because I already knew that size. Shout out to Target, by the way, for labeling some of their clothes (hopefully one day ALL of their clothes) with both what size they are in women’s and what size they are in men’s as well. Good stuff. 👍🏻
Now if only we could get shoes that were all the same size listings. Why do men's and women's shoes have different size numbers in the US?
@@vxicepickxv And why don’t women’s shoes go to larger sizes not just for transwomen but for enbies, too? I started T and my feet went up a size and now I’m in a 13 in women’s which virtually NOBODY makes except ONE company I found, and they’re orthopedic shoes. I wear a 10.5 in men’s and can find that size ALL DAY.
I appreciate this comment, as the mama of (among others) a trans masc enby.
I feel like they still could have had a unisex option too
@@vxicepickxv They have different proportions. I'm a woman, but I buy boys (not mens) sneakers because the arch is in the right place and the appropriate width is easier to find.
PS my feet are big enough to wear men's sizes but the arch isn't in the same place as boy's sizes.
Lol that "American made..." pride Tshirt 100 percent gives off a strong super-nationalistic/ religious vibe that's commonly associated with ignorant conservatives in America so seeing that vibe (font, textures, colors, phrasing, tone) on a pride shirt is odd to say the least. Honestly i find it artistically fascinating.
This subversion of the conservative esthetic is the point... the MAGA morons see it and think "oh one of us" and BOOM! Pride in their face
I think it was intentional for Trolling purposes.
Considering how too much of American feels about and treats transgender people, that shirt seems ... off.
I personally love taking conservative-looking or generally patriotic things and making them super gay and progressing, to really mess with right-wingers. I have an American flag necklace that I've added some pride charms to for this purpose
yeah i think it was made to bait and switch conservative americans (i hope i'm using that phrase right)
I like to think the Harry Potter post was more like a... middle finger to the author and an attempt to distance from her views. Like, let's separate the piece from the creator. I don't think the people behind the play has to do any reparations for something someone else did. That's JKR job.
I also hate that the author who must not be named gets the credit of writing the play when all she did was approve the stage play two other people wrote. Cursed Child is basically Fan fiction that had the creators stemp of approval, sadly that didn't age for them well. There are so many people involved in the Potter franchise and a lot of queer people, even trans people loved those books. For me they where a life line when I suffered from depression as a teenager. It was a world I always felt save in. I am pansexual and agender so I am neither straight nor cis and I also talked with my trans friends about this, we agreed that we will distance ourselves from the creator. We will not buy merchandise that's official and if we do or get it gifted (i love lego and people live to give me harry potter lego) i have to donate the same amount of money to a trans support group/organisation. We will write the queerest fanfictions we can and we will participate in the fandom only in inclusive spaces and we will not let a bigot take hogwarts away from us! We will make harry potter our own! "The author is dead" so I can interpret the work like I would an that is inclusive and way more queer xD I love it when ghe actors or people who worked with something harry potter related celebrate pride and condeme what "you know who" says.

I actually feel like every time I see something LGBTIQA+ positive related to HP, I feel really glad. It’s a massive fuck you to JK Terfling. It’s our sandbox now. Here in Melbourne the main role in Cursed Child was played by a transmasc non-binary queer person and I was so happy. JK might have started this world and she continues to do unforgivable harm to trans people but there are massive numbers of queer and trans people in the fandom and in the professional side of things and her voice isn’t as loud as theirs are.

The Wizarding World is over at Universal Studios, which is one of their primary competitors. A normal day ticket (or even park hopper ticket) wouldn’t include HP. The only way you’d get both of them was if there was a promotion where multiple competitors were pooling together tickets, and I seriously doubt those happen often.
Edited to add a couple words to hopefully help clarify my thoughts. I have my own things I’m boycotting (including HP and at least pulling back on Disney). I just find it nonsensical to boycott one company for what a different company is doing and haven’t regularly seen any tickets that would include both.
the "american and transgender" t-shirt was definitely a joke and satirizing the american patriotic/conservative culture by making it trans-inclusive, and it's honestly the best thing I've ever seen in my life

OMG thank you so much for the good timing, sorry for the negativity but you are one one of my comfort youtubers, just today i came out to my mum as non-binary and immediately got told "im not doing any of that pronouns bollocks".. i didnt mention pronouns at all (i use any pronouns), but just knowing that she wouldnt care to do that anyways isnt helping, aswell as how she would cut me off as soon as i tried to talk with her abt it, she said she accepted it but i doubt with how she acted that shes going to use anything but son, boy, man, he/him. ive been crying for ages today. again, sorry about the negativity, but thanks so so so much.
That really sucks, I'm sorry it went like that. Stay strong, you are ok as you are and deserve to be recognized and respected.
@@yan-5495 thank you!
Don't let this drag you down. Let it toughen you up - harden your heart towards your mother, not out of malice, but out of self-protection.
Her reaction was hostile. So yes, you _should_ be crying because you're mourning. You're mourning that your mother isn't who you thought or hoped she would be. But, it's much better _and_ much healthier to acknowledge the reality of who she really is.
And who she really is, is a woman who loves her ideology more than her child. That's how you need to treat her from now on.
So have a good long cry. By yourself, away from her or anyone else who would invalidate your pain. That's how you "get over" emotions: by _feeling them_ and expressing them (in an appropriate manner in a safe place), which releases them and lets go of them.
As a fellow nonbinary person with a transphobic mom, I can relate to you. You don't need to apologize for expressing your sadness: being sad is a part of life, especially if you're LGBT+ in an allocisheteronormative world.
Rest assured that even though your mom, a single individual, doesn't accept you, thousands upon thousands of Queer people and our Allies will do so wholeheartedly. Count me in among those.
@@enbyarchmage counted! thanks, alot.
I'm so sorry, I love the pride whopper and the pride sausage. They're so funny, I would buy it. Actually, I want the rainbow sausages all year around, so I can only serve rainbow sausages at barbecue parties, without saying anything.
Also, for JKR, her pen name is literally the name of the psychiatrist who invented conversion therapy (for all LBGTQ+ people) by electrical stimulation to the brain :) What a coincidence (/s) So, even the non-inclusive flag wouldn't be okay, imo
Oh wow, didn't know that last part.
@@NieroshaiTheSable same. Need to check into it and amplify.
First off same. Rainbow sausages year round. Second, that is an interesting fact. Also imo, there shouldn't be a flag for people who are non-inclusive. Just give them a name tag that says "Hello. I am a non-inclusive person who believes that people are not equal. Please stay away from me."
We have a flag for non-inclusive people, it's the radioactive hazard symbol.
If by "non-inclusive flag" you mean the six-stripe rainbow flag, I would probably use a different phrase, since that one was always meant to be inclusive of the larger community. The one the Cursed Child account used is known as the "progress flag," so maybe you could say "non-progress flag"? Or, for something that makes sense without knowing that context, just "six-stripe flag" works.
Also I agree, rainbow sausages are probably some of the funniest things to serve to unwitting barbecue guests.
Very well done, Jamie. I like you showcasing all the different Pride merch we saw and have seen. As far as the last one goes I completely agree with you that it's a little tone deaf. It's like Chick-fil-A coming out with pride merchandise. I don't care how the individual people who work in the restaurants feel or are members of the lgbtqia community, but the Cathy family is incredibly homophobic and people know it.
I imagine their employees are either unaware / ignorant, fine with it, or just desperate for a paycheck.
The audacity of Harry Potter to post anything to do with pride
Should they fire JKR, or just not post about it?
@@SimonClarkstone both obviously
One could say... *The audaCISy*
My condolences for making you read that
There were and are literally hundreds of people involved in the Wizarding World franchise, and afaik only one of them is (publicly) open about her transphobic views. Why *should* they let Rowling's bigotry stop them from being supportive? If anything, I think that if they hadn't posted anything pertaining to Pride at all, people would have assumed that the franchise as a whole is on board with the author's transphobia.
at the harry potter anniversary film half of the actors said they wouldnt film if jkr was there lol
As someone who lived in Mississippi through the 90's, I feel like I an provide some context for the American/trans shirt. "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God," is a not-uncommon phrase to see on shirts, mugs, etc. in the US Deep South (TM). Back when it was more acceptable to do so, the two flags featured were the American and... another one specific to the region. Though modern mainstream products may not show the "regional" flag as much any more, the phrase itself is still a bit of a dog whistle.
So, ya. The shirt here was either designed by someone who doesn't know how people use this phrase, or it was an attempt to reclaim it maybe? Either way, folks should know its history of being associated with people who hold harmful views when making a choice about whether or not to use it.
Yeah. Also nice to meet a fellow mississippian. At least one that actually accepts the LGBTQ+ community and doesn't try converting them to Christianity.
@@demon-misery7 Nice to meet you, too! Ya, I was fortunate enough to have moved to the Gulf Coast at age 10. It's a very different world from the interior of the state because of the cultural influence from New Orleans. I hope you have a safe space where ever you may be.
People still fly the "regional" flag and the national flag together in North Carolina. Interesting to hear what they do in other parts of the South. I've never seen that phrase used commonly, but maybe it's just because I grew up in the Appalachia.
@@phoneheaded Thanks for giving and Appalachian perspective! I've spent some time in North Carolina and Tennessee, but not enough to feel like I can speak for the area.
I'm trans ftm hoping to transition soon. Even I understand the point of nonbinary isn't male & female, lol 🤣
TL; DR I'm nonbinary, so I think I can explain to y'all what "having a nonbinary identity" means and feels like to me. Buckle up, bc this is gonna take a long time...
First and foremost, due to my Autism/ADHD, I have an inherently vague sense of self, that feels always kinda disconnected from social constructs. I sometimes even forget that saying something with your thoughts isn't the same thing as doing so with words, even though I can perfectly hear the words I think I'm saying 😂
I always knew that I'm a male human (i.e someone born with a penis and not intersex), but I've always related VERY deeply to incorporeal beings and other such creatures, bc they transcend ordinary human understandings of, among other things, mind-body, tangible-intangible, Self-Other and masculinity-femininity. Those boundaries are not always clear-cut to me, especially in the last two cases.
I find the idea of gender as a whole to be EXTREMELY weird/interesting: why would someone's genitals affect how they treat and are treated by others? How have ideas of gender evolved over time in different cultures?
I know that most of society perceives me as cis and I'm (mostly) ok with that. I'm a masculinely-presrnting male, after all, and masculine-gendered words don't bother me: I quite often use them to refer to myself, and my pronouns are they/he.
It's worth noting that whenever someone who doesn't know my gender refers to me as a "man", "boy" etc. I either laugh on the inside or feel misgendered, depending on my level of stress. My "default" gender identity is almost all nonbinary, with some non-neglegible degree of masculinity, but the more stressed out I am, the more distanced from social constructs (especially gender) I feel.
So, to sum up, nonbinary identities can be hard to understand even to enbies themselves, because they result from fundamentally neurodivergent thought processes that make those who have them naturally able to experience certain social constructs "from above", so to speak. Binary-gendered folks can respect us and empathize with us, but unless their brain chemistry changes massively for a while, they won't be able to accurately know how enbyhood feels like.
@@enbyarchmage I don’t know if one can claim that all people who identify as Nonbinary are automatically neurodivergent. That hasn’t really been proven in any significant way. While I, personally, am both (Agender with ADHD), I don’t quite think that my gender identity is the result of my neurodivergence, and while being neurodivergent _might_ make you more likely to identify as nonbinary, I don’t think it’s necessarily a requirement.
I understand gender, for the most part, and why people identify as binary genders, but calling myself a “girl” or a “woman” has just never felt 100% right, even if that’s what I was told I was. I knew I wasn’t a man, though, so I just kinda went along with being a woman, as I thought that was the only other option for most of my life. I was a woman “by default,” as it were.
Then, I learned about nonbinary/genderqueer identities in my late 20s, and that really resonated with me. It still took a bit of soul searching before I finally came out as nonbinary at the age of 30, but I just found that identifying outside of the gender binary felt the most correct for me. It made me feel much more at home in my skin, like I was finally expressing my true self, rather than just playing a role that was expected of me.
While I know that most people will still see me as cis, it doesn’t really bother me most of the time, because I know who I am, and so do the people who matter to me in my life. ☺️
(Plus, I use all pronouns, they/she/he, so misgendering doesn’t happen often. The only time I kinda cringe is if I’m referred to specifically as a girl, woman, miss, etc. That’s a little harder to ignore for me. 😅)
@@enbyarchmage I am agender but not neurodivergent. I've always been very bad at socialisation and emotions tho. My lack of gender is caused by my confusion with gender as a concept. Like how I'm supposed to know what gender am I? I'm biologically female but I don't feel that way. I don't feel male either, as well as non-binary. I'm just me without those strange emotions and understanding of social concepts. I've been that way my whole life and only about a 9 month I understood why am I the way I am. I like to be perceived as a neutral-looking/androgyne woman tho.
My point is you don't need to have some condition to be non-binary or agender. Gender is a very vague social construct which different people understand differently
@@thedork9754 I meant neurodivergent in the broadest sense of the word: with some observable difference in brain structure that causes a person to have statistically uncommon traits (e.g being transgender). I did not mean to imply that only people with a formal diagnosis of ADHD, autism etc. can be enbies. Sorry 😅
@@enbyarchmage okay, at first glance i thought to myself "huh, this description is very similar to a friend's. What a coincidence" until i saw the OP and got a minor shock.

This year for Pride, DecoPac included a trans cupcake ring. Last year, all they had was the pride flag. So that's getting better at least.
I can't tell anymore if companies are genuinely trying or just do things like "groom with pride" to get more views on their brand.
It's just for the money. It does scare the Karens away, though.
Is not something new to know that brands use the "special" days to grind and win more money, is a marketing strategy I think people should know by now and don't be upset, people make the brands do that.
Remember, the only thing a company cares about is money. Everything they do is to get money.
I looked it up and they did change it to “clean up with pride” lol. So idk if that’s a point for or against them
Is it a company that sells grooming products or services? Cuz that's the only way that ad makes sense.
5:08 we saw a pride Billboard in NYC, not during pride month, it said "new york has less closets, but as still aren't afraid to come out of them" and it was also from a self storage place
"'MAN'hatten? Let's do something with that!"
😂😂 😂So accurate.
The McFlurry one is something I genuinely love and appreciate. As a former McDonald’s employee and someone who loves dipping fries in my mcflurries, I take it as a “hey, you can’t change what you love, whether that’s both men and women or enbies or one or the others or even if it’s dippin yer fries in your ice cream, it doesn’t matter what others think, as long as it’s right for you”
The one company whose pride commercial I've seen and actually liked is for the app/website Indeed, and I loved them because of how subtle and casual the support for LGBTQ+ people was.
As someone who studies anthropology and culture, it’s very interesting to see how the culture changes as there is broader trans awareness and acceptance. It’s literally just, intriguing. I think that the “trans by the grace of god” one might actually, genuinely be something that some southern trans folks would buy. The aesthetic you’re referring to, I think it’s a cultural thing. And that rugged, faded aesthetic with American flags everywhere is very popular in the south.
i'd buy it because it's funny AND i'm a Christian

Hey Jammi! Thanks to you, I realized I was genderfluid but on the more male part of it (hard to explain lol). You are a huge inspiration. I recently came out as genderfluid to my dad as well with being pansexual and demisexual. You inspire me so much.
Hey! Good job on coming out! I have a question , what's demisexual?

Corporations need to create a division whose sole function is analyzing marketing of the brand and preventing stuff like the Burger King thing and the Every Man Jack tweet. Another one I know of is a car (I think Chevy, but can't remember) that is called Nova, which if your only language is Spanish, likely won't seem appealing for a car. Nobody wants a car named "Doesn't go".
There are ad agencies who can be hired for that kind of assignment. Mostly they specialize in cultural awareness, and regionalizing ads, but surely they could be hired for this kind of task. All someone needed to do was type the words individually into a search engine.
They could possibly even ask some LGBTQ+ people how it comes across or how they feel about it. Like really, how hard would that be?
@@mirandarensberger6919 Even the stuff that isn't necessarily offensive seems avoidable lmao.
To be fair about the T- shirts, "men's" and "woman's" sizing have more to do with the fit than the gender of the wearer. I'm a cis woman with plenty of "men's" shirts because I like the roomy-ness. Another perspective I saw was that those shirts could be for cis allies that want to be supportive.
"Men's" cut can also be called unisex, which probably would have been seen as more appropriate for the situation
But tbh, that just goes to show that categorising a certain fit as "man" or "woman" is just ridiculous. Clothes should be categorised by fit, be it slim or wide. To the other point, I'm not sure how others feel, but as a non-binary person myself I'd be surprised to see an ally with that shirt 😅 Like I'm sorry, I would just assume they're non-binary, because why would they wear that
All it really means is that the shirt is available across their full range of sizing and cut.
Unfortulately for the fit, men's sizes start bigger, not only differ in fit, so I can't wear any of them unless I want a tunic.. I can wear some boys' shirts though lmao
@@clarisaxpianist this comment made me start thinking about sizings as "unisex" and "tit emphasising" (the latter being my experience)
I’m wheezing about the rainbow sausages! Omg😂 They’re confused, but they got the spirit.
Also, happy Wrath Month, y’all. Give ‘em hell.
It looks like those mens/womans non-binary flag shirts came from one of those websites like redbubble where artists create and upload a t-shirt design and the company prints it out on their products for the customer. Even the pictures look like a models were photoshopped into the clothes. So the artist designing it wouldn’t have any control over how the product sizing works, it’s just a matter of how the company’s website works
Good point! And we can educate T-Spring 😁
I don't know about hamburgers but from my experience two bottoms don't really work all that well together
As someone who is bi and likes scotch, "I like my whisky straight but I could go either way" would actually be a KILLER tee.
I quite liked that meme too. It got a good chuckle out of me. Reminds me of a thing I used to say “The only thing straight about me are my bangs” lol
With the burger king burgers they could just ask some gay people to make some burgers and call it a day and not do the double burgers

Hey, just a video idea, could you do something about aromantics. We kinda get forgotten often, and you’re one of my favorite lgbtq+ creators so it’d be awesome. Anyway, wonderful video as always💚🤍🖤
Hey just a question since you mentioned aromantic. Do you know of a few websites I can take a look at to get a better understanding of aromanticism? I am thinking I may fall along that spectrum and was wanting to further my research into the topic.
@@demon-misery7 Yes please, I'm looking for sth like that as well! And I am also hella confused about the difference between queerplatonic attraction and romantic attraction!

“You did a thing. You thought you did a thing. It was strange”. Most people in my life could have used this motto towards me throughout the years honestly

Sure its focused on the LG side only but its still hilarious and apropos to many of us cuz of what else Top and Bottom mean to a lot of queers.
Honestly, as a transmasc person, I didn't really mind the Cursed Child tweet that much. I mean, I can see why the backlash happened but...no one involved in the Broadway production (or any production, or any aspect of the entire franchise) can help the fact that Rowling is an unapologetic TERF - no one apart from Rowling herself, that is - and I don't really think its fair to say these people, the vast majority of whom have likely never even met her, have to apologise for her simply for being associated with the franchise she created. To me, that's like saying Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson should have to publicly apologise every time Rowling sticks her foot even further into her mouth despite the fact that her views have already been established to definitely not be theirs. You don't demand an entire community to constantly be having to apologise for the actions of a rogue few.
Personally, I saw the picture as essentially saying that those involved with the Broadway production are more than happy to stand by the LGBT+ community, *including* trans people (especially since Broadway is generally a lot more trans-inclusive than the theatrical community is here in the UK - it's still not great by any means, but at least they haven't had the biggest producer of theatrical works in America publicly state that they'd never cast an openly trans performer as a cis character (so...literally every single character) in one of their shows because it would be a gimmick that diminishes the story telling...unlike Cameron Mackintosh saying exactly that with regards to his numerous shows in the UK a couple of years ago) despite Rowling's TERFness and were using the picture to actively distance themselves from said TERFness.
I'm not saying anyone has to agree with me and, like I said, I can see why the backlash happened but...I'm sort of willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with this one.
Wow that’s a lot of text
I have never heard of transmasc before. What does it mean?
@@SuperJJParker It's short for transmasculine. It's basically an umbrella term for people (generally those assigned female at birth) whose gender is typically more aligned with male than female, but it includes nonbinary/genderfluid people as well as those who are transmen.

@@SuperJJParker a transgender man who presents as masculine
I need more of these because there are SO MANY of these companies who try and do pride stuff but literally do nothing the rest of the year to support the community. It’s extremely annoying and manipulative in my opinion.
I personally think it's supportive in cases like the Whopper ad and the rainbow profile pics. For an entire month, businesses put out there that they acknowledge and respect LGBTQ+ folk, and the community can look around and see how acceptance is growing. It's like wearing poppies for Remembrance Day; people who don't spend much, if any, time thinking about the world wars collectively show their acknowledgement and respect on November 11. Businesses can't be LGBTQ+, they're not people, but they show their support every June. Just because they don't do it all year, doesn't necessarily mean they don't mean it. So long as they don't negate that respect with their words or actions the rest of the year, which is disingenuous for sure.
We had the Pride Whopper in the US a few years back when the Supreme Court ruled on marriage equality.
At least I think it was for the supreme court ruling. It may have just been pride month. I honestly can't remember, it's been so long. No I didn't try one.
And look where we’re going now …
for the shirts, it's probably from a print on demant site
i sell a lot on several (mainly zazzle, mostly pronoun pins) and they don't let you change the product name ("woman's shirt"), just add your "title"before it
so it's probably just a small artist who was trying to make pride items more accessible and it makes me sad so many people think it was intentional
they use stock photos and just put your art on them, so even the models have no idea
(if it WAS done intentionally then that's not good obviously but like, i don't think it was)
Print-on-demand sites have long had problems like this. Designers using the platform who want to market to a niche audience run into the gendered product issue, a lack of diversity in models, etc. The sites are clearly built around the idea that their main audience are white, cisgender, heterosexuals. I understand that upgrading a site can be a nightmare for them, but they really do create the impression that they just can't be bothered.
@@teek1917 oh yeah i agree, what i was saying is that it's not the artists fault what the site does like that and it's weird everyone is blaming the artist (i've seen this specific picture going around for several years now so for all we know it may already have been fixed!)
zazzle has done some good things, they have POC models and they stand for Black Lives Matter and stuff like that, which is why I mainly sell there - because overall, they seem like one of the better options that I've found
@@SkwithOv I'd say there's some blame for both. Zazzle knows it has a problem, and designers need to be aware of that problem. Although in fairness, I quit them some time ago (around 2018?) After four years of getting nowhere I realized there was just no point in my trying to sell my work through print on demand sites anyway, and Zazzle was making changes that gave me the push I needed to leave.
I'm trying to broaden my understanding of Trans identities and your content helps. It's both informative and educational. Thanks for what you do, keep up the good work.

That's great!
I have a fun story about the whiskey shirt. I work at Spencers in the US that's just like a novelty shop and had a man walk in wearing that shirt. He told me he was looking for pride merch to give to his daughter as a birthday present since he knew she was a lesbian. I showed him what we had and he told me he was doing this to be supportive since he hadn't been apart of his daughters life almost at all and she's 23 and moving closer to him so they could grow closer. I don't know the details of why they weren't apart of her life but the fact he was showing support and trying like that is awesome. So seeing that shirt for me is seeing that dude attempting to understand his daughter.
Also feel the need to point out that Cursed Child basically has a ‘no homo’ scene shoehorned in at the end. It basically seems to be ther just to stop people who ship Albus and Scorpius from thinking that their ship might be canon.
Aaaaaa that sounds awful
Why do they feel the need to do that? I mean I get when a ship isn't canonically possible because of a Canon ship in the piece of media but, like, going out of your way to tell the shippers their ship isn't canon IN THAT WAY??? Why even bother?? If the ship isn't harmful in any way why do that?? Even if it contradicts a canon ship why would that be a problem??
My dad has matching shirts with his best friend that have the "I like my whiskey straight" one on it and I think it's great lmao. He sent it to me before he bought it and asked if it was offensive and I said I didn't think so but it was definitely strange lmao
I think it’s great that he checked in with you. 🙂
If there’s some message behind whiskey drinking preferences, I’ve yet to come across them.
(Tell your dad it’s a Skinny Jack for me. 😂)
I just have to share, I work for one of the most progressive nurseries I've ever come across. We had a parent complain TODAY (13th July) that they weren't informed we were celebrating pride in June as they would have chosen to take their child out of the setting for the month 😑 my lesbian manager took the opportunity to lead that conversation about inclusivity and the right for every child to feel welcome, including those with LGBTQ+ parents, at the very least.
If a burger place really supported the LGBT+ community, we'd have Pretty Patties™️ by now 😤
THIS!!!
EXACTLY
OMG PRETTY PATTIES!
I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE HOLY CRAP! WE NEED PRETTY PATTIES NOW
I love the American flag shirt one. It's a subversion of typical conservative apparel and definitely done ironically, but it is also a reminder that anybody who claims to be patriotic should strive for their country to be an accepting, safe place for everyone who lives there, not just the people that religious conservatives like. It makes them uncomfortable and exposes their hypocrisy 😊
I'm flabbergasted they didn't try to make rainbow colored buns
In Brazil there's a traditional dessert/snack which consists of cheese and guava marmalade and we call it Romeo and Juliet. A few years ago Burger King made a campaign with a Sundae with Romeo and Juliet topping and it stated that Romeo and Romeo (double cheese) and or Juliet and Juliet (double guava marmalade) was also ok. I think that was really nice. Haha
7:17 - I do get what you're saying, Jamie, but I like to think of this as a 'Stealth Pride' t-shirt. I feel like you could sneak up a group of typically right-wing, confederate flag-waving folks and blend in for a while, before they actually read the words, put them all together and went "Heyyy.... waaaaait, noooo!!"
It'd at least be useful for standing next to Westboro Baptist Church members when they're waving their anti-LGBTQ+ banners at some protest or other.
I remember when my straight friend found the Burger King add and I then had to explain to them why I was laughing. . . That was a fun day
I get your reaction about the Cursed Child tweet but I also think that it's a very nice step by these people, who might not have much freedom of speech in that regard if they want to keep their job in the play (I don't know, but I can imagine). They did come forward and clearly raised a middle-finger at JKR with the trans lines on the Pride flag.
am enby and the school crossing guard always says 'hello mate' to me and 'hello hon' to others and she gives me such gender euphoria it's amazing.
I'm AFAB and non-binary and I kind of appreciate them having a "women's" shirt instead of just a unisex shirt because they fit me much better and are more my style. They maybe could have labeled them as fem and masc or curvy and straight instead tho
The ones I've always heard are "slim cut" for men's and "fitted cut" for women's.
Hey Jamie, you might not see this but just wanted to say thanks for making me laugh and smile cause I have been going threw some mental issues recently, so your videos and one topic at a time videos have been helping me through it, so thank you.
Same. I come here because it’s a place to laugh and be surrounded by love and compassion. 🙂
Yeah this is one of the few trans channels I watch anymore, there's a lot less hate and brigading here than on channels like Samantha Lux or Sam Collins.
That doesn't mean there isn't still hate and brigading though, unfortunately :(
As a nonbinary man I approve
I would have ordered that whopper just to hear the cashier ask "Top or bottom?"

But where's the pizzazz?

As an enby myself, I have no issue with the men's/women's enby flag shirt. The male/female thing just refers to the cut of the shirt, and it's useful information to have when choosing which style you want. It'd be more appropriate if they had both cuts on both models, but you know neither of those models ever wore the shirt, right?
Edit: also, that Harry Potter thing? Seriously, learn to separate the art from the artist. All you do when you create a monolith of a widely popular IP is create more hate and fighting where there doesn't need to be any. You basically made the argument that a church flying a progress flag should be criticized for being vaguely connected to bigots, and that's a shitty attitude to have.
Besides being funny, the nonbinary "women's" or "men's t-shirts are of course called that for obvious reasons. But they do raise a good question: why can't we change language to better convey the same information? Why not instead something like t-shirts with a contoured chest and a flat chest?
I totally agree, but I'm not sure if flat chest and contoured chest would work because "mens" and "womens" t-shirts differ in waist tapering as well. Maybe just "contoured" and "not contoured" would work? I'm not sure, but I like your idea
@@casualcrossovers6987 Would categorizing t-shirts as "slim" or " wide" help?
@@toast8974 maybe, but then we would get into issues surrounding body sizes. Especially because slim fit and wide fit are used to mean other things in the same context. That is an interesting idea though
@@casualcrossovers6987 Your idea was pretty good tho 👍
@@casualcrossovers6987 I guess it needs a bit of workshopping, but it shouldn't be too hard to settle on a couple of good memorable names for the different cuts.
Your remark on the blue sausage had my cracking up!! 🤣🤣🤣
I guess I've always thought this but for some reason the thought tickled my conscious brain today... But Jamie has a very cool and aesthetic sense of style.
(There are probably more posh words than "cool and aesthetic" but I'm non native and my brain is currently not functioning properly.)
You do great. Far better than a lot of native speakers! 😂
