@@1th_to_comment. it’s a malformation of the spine in an s shape that causes pain. People with breasts often have pain in the back when they have typical spines bc of the weight of the breasts. With scoliosis that pain is even worse! If you’re older than secondary school you probably were checked for it at some point in the vaccination and yearly checkup process.
This reminds me of the time I put the trans flag emoji in my twitter bio during pride month, and a person who had been anonymously harassing myself and some friends automatically assumed that that meant I was MtF (I'm AFAB non-binary lol). They sent me an anonymous retrospring message, something along the lines of, "you're delusional, you'll never be a girl. You have a d*ck. Everyone supporting you is just being nice to you because you're mentally ill" and I could not. stop. laughing. If you're gonna be transphobic, at least figure out how to do it right. 😭
Same here, with someone seeing the trans flag sticker on my laptop and telling me how I'll never be a real woman and how I'm not even trying to look like one... Yeah, no shit Becca, you've got three guesses on WHY I'm not trying to look like a woman! XD
As an amab Trans nonbinary person who doesn't consider themself to be going for binary woman-ness, this is a space we inhabit as well. Not sure if we'd encourage the transphobes to do it right, tho. Just on principle 🙄 😆 🏳️⚧️💓🏳️🌈
This. Cisgender gay male here, and I just don’t get why people can’t wrap their minds around others not fitting into their tiny, TINY personal version of the human experience. Missing out on a whoooooooole big world out here, bigots.
Next to this, think of that superbig group of women who use hormones...(contraceptive pills contain hormones, and some other types use hormones as well to reach the desired effect). It sometimes seems as if the people who are transphobic think that hormones were never around and when transpeople started getting a bit more attention and momentum in medical science and wards in hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies rushed to develop hormones specifically for them. In sort of the same way that transphobic people think that puberty blockers were developed specifically for trans children in mind, but were around much longer before they started treating transchildren with it. I even had someone respond to me that "puberty blockers to treat precocious puberty are then used to actually treat a health problem!!! And giving them to trans children is not actually treating a health problem!¨ (This was someone trying to use the argument that puberty blockers are "very experimental in nature and the side effects are completely unknown"). The person asked why it was considered OK to give it to transchildren "because the long term effects are completely unknown" and when I explained that children experiencing precocious puberty have been doing fine even with the blockers administered, along with the fact that for those children the amount of years in which they have to take those drugs might actually be 2-3 years longer than most transchildren will have to take them. Unfortunately the person kept repeating that treating precocious puberty was a natural health consequence they tried to minimise and that "blocking puberty in transchildren is different!" and it was mindblowing to actually see someone reasoning like that. "One form of puberty blocking with a drug is good and no problem health-consequence wise, and another with the exact same drug is completely unknown and dangerous health-wise!"
6:29 It's typically pretty clear that accidental allies are genuinely hateful but in their stupidity have bamboozled themselves, but this one legitimately reads like sincere trans woman affirmation
Being called man as a str8 trans woman by LGB groups, does that mean I'm a gay man, therefore more than valid as part of the LGB group? They usually aren't sure what to do with this one.
On the other hand, from a first glance, you can also see it as them saying that the only real women are what we consider cisgender, given that specific line
Fr, genuinely don't know how someone could mess up this badly at being a bigot lmao (not that I'm complaining tho, keep up the incompetence transphobes!)
as a genderqueer person, the most gender affirming comment I've heard is from a transphobe who was trying to insult me. they saw on my ig profile that i had a generally androgynous style and were like "you're just dressing up as a man, you'll never be a real man" and i replied "I'm not a man lol". then they were like "you'll never be a real woman, stop trying to be something you're not!" it was hilarious. like which one is it, bud? you're really stroking my ego here. i have the schrodinger's gender apparently.
We have a TV-program about trans people transitioning here in The Netherlands, and a part of each episode consists out of small outtakes in which two or sometimes one transperson takes out a random question from a little bowl of questions that's in front of them and answers it (sometimes they don't if it's a downright offensive one). One time there was the question "What was the biggest insult that someone tried to make that was accidentally supportive?" and two transwomen thought for a moment, and then one went "A girl one time tried to cuss at me by going "You fucking ass....." and had wanted to say "asshole" and retracted the last word partially, and then corrected herself by going "You fucking bitch!!!" and I was like "Ooooh female slurs, bring it on bitch!" :P.
On the getting testosterone to get swole thing: Don't quote me on this one, but I remember reading somewhere that if you add too much testosterone to your body, that can mess up your own testosterone production and you'll end up with less than you started with because your body stops producing it on its own. Plus, that meme is also just flat out wrong, as it's ridiculously difficult for trans people to get the healthcare they need. All the shit I had to go through to be allowed to medically transition, while an aquaintance of mine could just mess up his body with steroids no problem...
Nah but for real, just the other day I tried to explain to a person that minors literally legally can't go to gender affirming surgery after they whipped out some bullshit data that "minors in the UK are having 400 times more trans surgeries in the last 4 years, stop this poisonous pedo propaganda" or some shit. It was under the news about how Russia is banning "lgbt propaganda" and they were like "finally someone brave enough". Absolutely disgusting.
The accusation of a candy mascot being trans based purely on design implies the idea that barely-anthropomorphized candy has genitals or other biological characteristics with which to assign them gender…….which sure is a hot take, ain’t it? Especially to foist on a character designed to make a brand of candy more appealing to children. Especially from the crowd that accuses “gender ideology” of crimes against children that starts with the letter P. It’s almost like they’re the ones obsessed with genitals and s*x while trans people and their allies just want to live their freaking lives or something.
Also, it's clearly the green one who's trans, not the purple one. In the 80s the green M&M mascot was a male-presenting almond one, but now she's female and has no nuts.
@@Ynwell_theslaaneshi Wasn't the outrage about one of the girl M&Ms having running shoes instead of heels, or was that a different thing people got mad over?
I wonder if trans people could avoid some percentage of ire from conservatives if instead of saying “I’m transitioning from girl to boy” they said “surprise! I’ve secretly been a boy all this time. I’ve merely pretended to be a girl so that society would accept me, but I am confident enough to throw off this disguise to show who I really am. My real name is [new name], [dead name] was just a character. I’m very sorry if you liked [dead name], I tried to let my real personality shine through, but [new name] will no longer hide behind a mask, this is the real me, it was me the whole time, no more hiding” Eh, I guess it would take too much of a group commitment. Conservatives already know about trans people.
Now I'm imagining a trans person pretending that they'd been stealth transitioned for ages and are now detransitioning. Like, for example a trans woman going all "I was sucked in by the scary gender ideology and they masculinized me when I was a young girl. Now I've seen the light and am working to return to my natural femininity" as a way to explain away their transition to transphobes.
Often times, that is the way we think about it and the way we phrase it to others. I've always been a woman, which is why it was so hard for me to live as a man. Of course, not all trans people phrase it that way, and even I don't phrase it the same way all the time. We're too diverse of a community to have just one way of thinking of things. But gender is considered to be in the brain, and there is much scientific evidence to support that we are born with a gender in the brain. So my brain has always been female, even if my body was male. Realizing you are trans is a journey of discovery, of discovering what was always true about yourself.
That sign was one of the more heinous examples in this episode. It actually threw me for a loop with how ready I was to read "But I'm still a woman!" on the last line
@@Cha4k lol no doctor is using language like that. You've expressed a concern with a kernel of truth, but we would have to discuss it without hyperbole to reach a meaningful understanding.
@@Cha4k well yeah, giving birth doesn’t mean much, it can also means by cesarean section. I’m sorry if the point of medical questions is to be as precise as possible. Some females grow up without cervix, so they’re not included in “cervix haver”, some men have cervixes, so they’re included. It’s very sad to see people be mad that medical talk is more precise than our day to day basis. Well genius, we need to be precise in order to be as useful for your health!!
@@Cha4k you just said incel is a slur under a different comment so im very doubtful. no doctor is ever going to call someone a "breeder". what problem is that even supposed to solve? and no medical form is ever going to say "Have you had young ones the old fashioned way" either when they could just say "Have you given natural birth before?". young ones and old fashioned way are colloquial speak and wouldn't be permitted to be put on a form. and again, what issue does that sentence address that would lead to to believe its real? like who tf is saying the word baby or child is offensive? the answer is no one btw. in case you arent just making shit up you need to find a different medical care place bc that is not a medical care place. and finally, we dont need woman as a functional label bc it wasnt one in the first place. if a study is about cervix cancer and it is done on women, the study wont be valid. there are women without cervixes and people with cervixes who arent women that skew the data. it shouldve been done on people with cervixes instead. see how ive described people with cervixes three times in this paragraph in a practical way that doesnt sound abrasive like " Cervix Haver" (which isnt really used by anyone except some media outlets), and still managed to refer to the actual demographic i want to instead of fumbling through unclear and too generalized labels like woman? its not that hard.
I think an alpha male channel had incredibly accepting views of trans men (a viewer sent an email asking what the youtuber thought of alpha trans men). The alpha youtuber said something similar to 11:14 and explained that that means it does not matter what someone is assigned at birth. Of course, he wasn't super knowledgeable about the matter, but hearing it was incredibly refreshing. Edit: the channel was alpha m. and the video was "Can a TRANS "MAN" be an ALPHA MALE? (May Delete)", I fully believe it was a clickbait for incels seeking validation for their transphobia.
@@rpggaming1976- Those who do not accept the science fear trans people. Their moral system teaches that anything outside of cisgender heterosexual is willful perversion, deliberate deviance, and sexual promiscuity. And the men don't want to be mistaken for gay.
I was just thinking, somewhere there's got to be an Alpha Bro type that's actually really trans affirming and believes masculinity is what you do, and not what genes you have/ what's in your pants. Like, there's GOT to be. Kinda neat to hear it's true.
God, the "they won't give me testosterone to enhance my muscle mass, but trans people can have it without problem" really hurts, because I actually had a classmate in high school who was a cis guy and he was already getting testosterone because he was doing sports, no problem, but I have to visit my therapist once a week for months and am still not on t
@@DaffroDuck the reality is he is a transman. And by trying to get testosterone he accepts this reality and trys to be happy. No one thinks or claims he will be "male" because of this. But he is still a man. Because all that matters in a person is their personality not how their genitals are shaped.
hey one small thing: when you were talking about people who use any pronouns having kind of a leg up when it comes to misgendering because there’s no way they can refer to us incorrectly, that’s not quite right. being referred to specifically as a girl when i’m not a girl is still very hurtful and is still misgendering. people only using she/her for me because i “was born a girl and look like a girl” is still misgendering, because at least for me the point of using any/all pronouns is that i don’t like using just one set, and someone choosing only to use she/her because “i’m a girl with extra steps” is still very much misgendering. i totally get what you were saying but i just wanted to let you know that it isn’t as simple as the pronouns at least for me
Yeah, it's more of a personal matter. Some don't care about pronouns at all and therefore say that they use all, some care in some certain situations and etc,etc. I imagine a person who can't be misgendered as someone who identifies as all genders, using all pronouns and don't care when people say smth like "pick one" and they're fine if people are using just one set of pronouns and view them as a certain gender. So, you see that it's a very specific description :) Some ppl are just transphobic so don't listen to them. People who undertand you and actually matter,care for you and stuff will use different pronouns for you and make you feel good^^ And the others that don't do that(intentionally cos some might try but slip up and make mistakes) - their opinion shouldn't matter. You're not other people's perception of you, only your view of yourself really matters here :) After all,when we feel down about ourselves it's not as much as what others say it's what we believe to be true of all the things those others say. Point of view,a certain angle in the situation is a very powerful tool. Have a good day/night/time/ life^^
As someone who goes by all pronouns because I'm genderfluid I have to say it might be good for you to instead have pronouns you don't use. So not any/all Because if someone says any/all people are gonna use any and all pronouns If you don't like people just using she/her then you shouldn't have that be an option I don't mean to be overreaching but I just think that having any/all pronouns means you go by any and all pronouns. I understand this might be more of a "someone trying to do it on purpose to insult you" kinda way Which, that always sucks Like, I am AMAB and if someone who knew I was genderfluid would use only he/him with the EXPRESS purpose of hurting me.. Yeah, that sucks. But I do say I go by all pronouns, so I don't get mad when people call me he/him exclusively Cause, I go by them all, all the time Yeah I prefer she/her they/them But if you wanna call me he, go for it Im sorry if I misunderstood the message! I don't mean to offend or harm, just lend an idea to exclude a singular set of pronouns
I automatically assume it means "use whatever you want and is easiest for you, I don't care" when I read "any pronoun". I absolutely won't mind using more, but I'd never get that from this expression, so you need to spell that out for us to know.
There's a limit on that. Testosterone that can't find a receptor to bind to, will get turned into estrogen but only up to a certain amount (the receptors for binding excess amounts having been converted can run out as well). Excess hormones are secreted by the liver and kidneys and leave the body through urine.
ive had a few different people tell me they thought i was MTF when they first met me, bc as an FTM nb dude with long hair and neutral clothes- im absolutely in the same boat of "oh cool youre trans!... which,,,,.,, which way im sorry"
So, as a transmasc person and a feminist, I will say that though I get why the terms breastfeeder, uterus haver, etc. exist to be inclusive of trans people, I can also see from a cis woman's perspective how that can suck to be referred to due to the patriarchy seeing cis women as nothing much more than baby makers. It can easily seem dehumanizing after years of feminism movements. So I do understand that. Even though I tend to just say things like people that give birth or specify afab when speaking, I personally try to stay clear of anything that sounds similar to "baby maker." Just wanted to put that point of view out there.
I think it’s fine in a medical context to use terms like uterus haver if it’s just talking about the functions of the uterus, or diseases affecting it, etc, because it is correct to call someone who has a uterus and uterus haver. What would be weird is calling all afab people uterus havers in like casual conversation
@@stalkkaajatyyppi the wording even sounds more like a machine or breeding cow. Someone/people w a uterus is less of that so I think the wording is important here.
lmfao "uterus haver"? why not just say "biologically female", especially in medical contexts (not so much as a colloquial term to refer to people with.. well, female organs.) is that word considered offensive? why? some people are biologically female and others arent. is it claiming that trans women *arent* biologically female? why isnt the answer yes? anyway thats me guessing, im just wondering.... cause "uterus haver" sounds disgusting.
I tend to prefer person first language for exclusivity. "People who menstruate" if its about period talk or "People with uterus" if it's like specific to uterus talk. Or even "People with prostates" It's not perfect but it feels like it makes it more about the people that share an experience than the body organ
Although it's TERFs who want to boil womanhood down to a matter of anatomy, rather than the emotional experience of being a woman. It's trans people who are saying that a woman is not defined by her uterus, or lack thereof. If someone doesn't want to be seen as a "baby maker", wouldn't it be freeing to acknowledge that women are not defined by biology? They're still a woman, whether they make babies or not.
i definitely tried the any/all pronouns thing because i thought it would help alleviate dysphoria when people used she/her, but no it just meant people would stick to whatever pronoun they thought i "looked like" so i went to just he/they real quick lol
Lol I think it's dumb af that people don't realize you can be enby with she/her pronouns. People will look at a boat and say "she's beautiful" but no one thinks it's a fucking girl boat
Last year my class of 5th graders asked me what a trans person is, my best (paraphrased) explanation was: a person with a physical condition that due to fucked genetics/conditions during the gestation period, got the wrong body externally. I know it's not the truest and best answer, but I'm an English teacher (as a foreign language), I only have 50 minutes of class with these children and the question was too important to ignore. I did my best 🤷♀️
Eyo i like that It reminds me to that video of a transphobe in a podcast being asked "then what happens when a man brain is born in the body of a woman?" And said smth in the words of "Well i'd change the parts of it until it looks like the body of a man-" other cuts him _"you just explained transitioning"_ Dude's shook
Yup, cis-men can definitely also get testosterone prescribed. An older friend of mine needs t-gel because his body doesn't produce enough testosterone anymore after an illness. He started to lose his body-hair and with that his self-esteem. He got testosterone prescribed and now he feels much better again c: But wanting to use testosterone to "enhance your body" or whatever is basically just doping...
I would've had some of the hormones the pituitary gland normally secretes administered along with a medicine to slow my thyroid down, so the growing hormones that would've resulted from this intervention would have a chance to do something. When I was 11 my parents were concerned about my body height falling below the average of most other children, so I was sent to an endocrinologist that checked me out for the next 2-3 years. If my body hadn't figured out things on it's own they would've intervened because there were concerns my thyroid was breaking down all the puberty hormones prematurely before they could do anything. Research eventually showed my body just took a bit more time to figure things out and at 14 years and 1 or 2 months I got into boy puberty. The only thing that sucks now is knowing how awfully close I was to getting puberty halted, I learned in 2018 that the screening process for boy puberty starting was nearly identical for transgirls....
The thing about people having a problem with breast removal surgeries isn't just for removal either. If someone wants a reduction: NOT a removal, they'll still get shit on for it. There was a video circulating around of a documentary of a woman who if I remember correctly, had size GG breasts. She said she found them uncomfortable, they caused back pain, they made her feel weird and she didn't feel pretty or like herself with them. (Although I don't agree with aesthetic or gender affirming surgeries for the pleasure of other people, it does feel as though she wanted this for herself, and didn't have other people nagging her about it.) In the comments of this video were a bunch of gross men talking about how it was "Such a shame that she would do that to herself" and comparing it to their favorite restaurants going out of business. There were women who were so angry because "Ugh! I wish I had boobs like that! It's so disrespectful to do that when there are flat chested women!" and then would go on about how they just KNEW that her friends and family bullied her into the surgery because they were jealous. It was such a gross topic place, and it was all on the top comments, I didn't even need to sort by newest and immediately found those gross comments...
@@genericname2747 Most of the women were flat chested. They were mad because they wanted a big chest like that because they were conditioned into thinking that all men like big chested women. I got into an argument with a guy there insisting that even gay men like boobs and that back pain caused by big chests is comparable to hip pain caused by big testis somehow. Even gave this wacko story about a guy he knew who had a big pair and all he had to do was yoga to get rid of his back pain... Good for him but that's not how it works for most big chested women lol. I did stretches and rigorous exercise in highschool with a big chest and it still causes back pain for me, then tried to tell me I wasn't doing them right despite having coaches there who worked with me through them. Anyone getting mad about this just boggles my mind, and then men pretending that they know more about a womans body is the icing on the cake.
Can I just say that trans people do not have gender affirming surgeries performed for the pleasure of other people? This might be news to you but we don't do it for other people, but to feel better in our bodies....
@@Dutch3DMaster Hi there! I'm a female presenting non-binary and my brother recently got gender reaffirming surgery! He got it for himself and I'm proud of him for it! If you would have read the rest of that statement, you would have seen that I had also said "But it seemed like she got the surgery for herself". Some trans people DO get gender reaffirming surgery because they think that they have to in order to be considered trans. Many trans people online genuinely think you HAVE to want surgery in order to be trans (Which isn't true). This is the biggest reason why some people detransition. I know it's not a big number of people, but that number exists and way too many of these detransitioners decide to campaign for harder gender reaffirming care. Ignoring the fact that this happens won't get rid of people who do get these surgeries for the wrong reasons. It happens sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with making mistakes, but it's still something we should try to avoid. Being condescending to others is uncalled for even if I had made a small mess up in my statement, as even in my original comment I was still clearly on your side. "This might be news to you" but reading the entire comment before getting rude would be less embarrassing for you.
I don't get why people get so upset about people transitioning. What harm does it actually do to them. Does an angel die every time someone transitions a la fairies in Peter Pan or something? For example, I don't like the aesthetic of the human body being buffed up to the extent that bodybuilders push their musculature. But good for them if that is what they choose to do. I only hope that no harmful chemicals are being used, for their wellbeing. If it makes someone feel good about themselves to work out and do what it takes, then be happy for them. Same with transitioning. It no skin off my todger.
replying to myself lol if i were a parent, this would wholly be my opinion. i wouldn't let my kid transition, as much as it hurt not to... although, I'd probably do many things differently than other people would. i'd probably try my best to be emotionally close to my child; convince them that im always a place to rest their feelings on, so I would know if they wanted to transition in the first place, since thats the most important, and thats what my mother did for me. id also probably try to raise a debater.... but I think they'd beat me tbh. just saying; its not safe. i understand the perspective of teenagers ("i need to transition; i cant love myself until i do") but ultimately teenagers feel this way about.. a lot of different things. like, "i need to lose weight; i cant love myself until i do" or "i need to get smarter; i cant love myself until i do" or "i need to look prettier", "i need to be sexier", "i need a boyfriend", "i need to be cool".. i am, 100%, boiling it down to insecurity. ultimately, gender dysphoria specifically, *is* an insecurity, just a nigh uncontrollable one. its likely wishful thinking to think that it can be rationalized away or healed with time, but while my kid waits, i'll definitely be there for them. .. unfortunately im not a mother, so what I will do doesnt matter.
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 Not an insecurity. If anything, the opposite. I became secure enough to admit that I'm trans. If your kid was born with a cleft palate, wouldn't you get that fixed? So if they're born in the wrong body, why not get that fixed? And to be clear, nothing irreversible would happen until they're an adult anyway. For kids, it's just a matter of social transition, and for teens, puberty blockers. Where's the harm in that?
I almost liked until I saw your reply to your own comment :/ "I would just want my child to be happy" but also... if they were trans you wouldn't let them do one of the only things that stops trans children from killing themselves. Not to mention that transitioning is not dangerous apart from the transphobia they might face.
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 that is still EXTREMELY harmful. My parents are doing this exact thing and it has been slowly killing me. I have begged and pleaded with them to let me transition and they have been preventing it. It has caused me to be extremely depressed and suicidal and i have spent multiple nights crying myself to sleep because of them doing this
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 Stop insinuating that a teenager "having doubts about....a lot of different things" is immediately capable of being seen by a gender clinic, and also, that this gender clinic is populated by doctors who are all idiots and are completely incapable of separating people who might feel in conflict with their body due to something else and think it might be gender dysphoria, and the people they see who actually are gender dysphoric. You reduce it to "a simple teenage insecurity" and it's just not that (and I will add to this that any teenage insecurity sucks and that we as society really need to learn to deal with treating other children the same age better than we are now doing, and learning how to see through the bullshit made up by the beauty industry). It was unfortunate reading "I wouldn't let my kid transition, as much as it hurt not to" and then reading on about how you'd hope to be emotionally close and available for your child so that they would tell you: If you put off their transition (again making it sound like young children are getting on hormones as if it's no big deal) even if it's a merely social one, you can be there emotionally available all you want, but your child will turn away from you, after all, you are the one preventing them from living their life as they see fit. This is along with the situation in which a child persists so fiercely that they throw traumatizing fits (traumatizing for the parents because they see such a deeply sad and angry child) till one of the parents gives in, which, at times has caused parents of a trans child to split up because one of the parents tried to force the original gender role based on their sex at birth on the child, while the other noticed how a small change could better the life of the child involved. Sometimes it's confusing to see a message start out so reasonably good and then derail so insanely fast. "If i were a parent, this would wholly be my opinion."
My favourite is when James Stephanie Sterling came out as non-binary and people were all "you'll never be a woman" and, like, yeah. They won't. Cos they're not.
@@jordanenby9734 poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. It's when there are "benign" (aka just noncancerous, not necessarily not harmful) cysts on the ovaries. It can cause a bunch of different conditions depending on each person. Some people can't gain wait, some can't lose it. Some people have huge fertility issues, others don't. One common factor, though, is hormone imbalances. My wife was diagnosed with it after the birth of our son, they said the extra testosterone she had while pregnant with him is probably what triggered her symptoms considering she hadn't noticed anything before. They gave her an antiandrogen and it helped her lose weight and regulate her cycle.
I remember when I still thought I was cis, and I got quote retweeted by a prominent misogynist. One of his many fanboys harassing me just tweeted my profile picture to say "that's a MAN." Little did he know he was right, but not in the way he meant.
As someone who uses any pronouns, YES, it IS a superpower lmao. Tbh I publicly go by she/her & only tell people I trust that I use any bc I'm just so used to people deciding its easier to pick one for me & going with she. So people see pronouns in my bio online & try to misgender me by calling me a guy or an it & i always find it hilarious bc those are my LEAST used pronouns & its actually super validating. I experience no dysphoria or euphoria from pronouns & these transphobes give me the chance to test out the rarer ones and see if my stance has changed
the testosterone one is extra funny to me because it’s like “oh what, you’ll give opioid pain meds to someone who just broke their leg, but I can’t take heroin for fun? Hypocrisy!”

i feel like the breast removal vs breast augmentation thing goes with the thought that if you'reAFAB there's no possible way you would not like your breasts and that it is always a very important part of your identity therefore if you remove them there is a 100% chance you'll regret it. For this people if you are a cis woman wanting breast augmentation is okey since it goes aligned with this believed, but if it is the contrary you are delusional, you are just confusing things, you HAVE to like your breasts or at the worst case it you dont feel good about your chest it probably isn't such a big deal (I have seen not only trans man and non binary AFAB people being questioned for their decisions about their chest but also even cis women who get breast reduction). At the end of the day, it's true, breast removal and breast augmentation are two types of surgery that belong to the same goal generally , that is gender affirming care, but this people dont see it like this. I think they see it like sex affirming care rather than gender affirming care and not only that but they also hold it to very conservative views on what even a cis woman can want.
My voice has dropped considerably since I went on Testosterone. Not once did it sound like the voice of a stranger, even though I am still in the funky timeframe where it cracks a lot and does funny things when I laugh. You know what felt like the voice of a stranger, though? My pre-T customer service voice. That made me miserable to the point of avoiding phone calls wherever possible.
Cowash isn't a new concept? Curly haired folks have been using cowashes for years. They are pretty great, though, although you do have to shampoo your hair now and then to get rid of any build up. Also, you could just use a sulfate free, color safe moisturizing shampoo paired with a good leave in conditioner? Which isn't actually more product because you kind of have to use some form of conditioner regardless of what hair cleanser you're using, usually

That genderfluid wojak meme is ironically funny to me because i met someone like that in a psych one time, and they literally would announce in 3 to 20 minute intervals when their gender identity shifted💀 and to add to that irony I, over the course of my mid to late teens kept trying to commit to being trans, even though it felt wrong because while i hated presenting as female, i didn't feel totally like a man either. it was like a "well I'd rather be this than that if i had to choose", sacrifice. I now understand that the reason i went through full on depressive episodes, and mental, bodily rejection eveytime i tried to apply a label to myself was because being gender fluid is not a linear fluxuation, but being stuck on a spectrum of being everything, nothing or something entirely different at all times, in varying degrees. it can be hell if you haven't found that "sweet spot" that works for you and utterly euphoric when you do. Like it took a lot of experementing and frustration to get to this apiphany. Sometimes it was binding, and dying my facial hair for years, and then randomly standing in front of a mirror wondering why i ever liked myself that way and deciding to be hyper fem, but then later also packing. Not presenting in a way where i feel comfortable can literally make or break my whole day if not days to weeks. If I'm not leaving my house As me, however that looks at the time, people aren't seeing Who I Am, and that is worse than being invisible. It's like being a blank, clay model and having to mold yourself every day. It wont always be the same, and what most embodied you one day won't always do the same two weeks, or 10 years from then, because you are ever changing, frustrated, and beautiful
Congratulations on your new Flat! As an intentional Ally, I love the opportunity to hear the hilarious unintentional humor/humour of "accidental allies".
If you're having dry skin problems during winter I highly recommend getting a humidifier. Technology connections did a great video about how the reason that the air is so dry during winter is because at colder temps air holds less maximum moisture, so when we heat it up to a comfortable temperature the air can hold more, which makes the amount its holding way lower than the maximum, making it feel super dry. We need to add water back to the air with a humidifier.
Elliot Page confuses me only because the first person I think of when I hear that name is Elliot from Scrubs and I think people are misgendering/deadnaming him until I actually remember that Elliot is more traditionally a man's name.
The all pronouns thing is so true. I have some friends who will continuously change up my pronouns during conversation. It started because they wanted to be sure they were affirming my gender and 'covering all bases' essentially (for context I'm gender fluid/gender apathetic), but now it's more of a running gag we use to confuse people. Also makes a good vibe-check depending on whether someone will ask about it/attempt to adapt or refuse to accept it.
Wow, I’ve never heard the term gender apathetic, I love it so much… feels like it would be on the same sliding scale of gender as genderfuck, so where as someone genderfuck is adverse to gender constructs and actively subverts them, a gender apathetic person might also subvert gender expectations but it’s more of a side quest than a goal.

Weren't the conservatives real mad too when one of the feminine M&M went from gogo boots to sneakers? Like, they were REALLY mad that theM&M wasn't as sexy to them anymore. Like, hey, if you wanna bone the candy you can I guess? But do you have to throw a hissyfit over it?

Today I was just talking to my mom about how us cis gender women don't really need a period so why do we have them? My mom's only answer was well you still have them which was not the answer I was looking for like I know we women still have to go through it because I know it's just the facts of life it's just that I don't know why it was made for us women to go through having a cycle every month.
Except Periods ARE Important To The Female Reproductive Cycle. We DO Need A Period, If We Want To Have Kids At Least (I Dont, Which Is Why I Take Birth Control That Limits My Period To Every 3 Months)
@@gam8ligant well there's a lot of questions I have but I don't want to go back and forth in the comments so the only thing I have to say is you don't really need it. Because I don't think it plays an important part .
there are only a few mammals who have periods. the short version: a thin layer of endometrium (womb slime) can be absorbed while its more energy efficient to get rid of a thick layer by throwing it out instead of reabsorbing it. so why do some mammals make in advance a thick endometrium and some a thin endometrium? most likely its a method to prevent misscarriages since a thick endometrium is able to throw out a non viable fetus with them. it makes sense for mammals who have a long pregnancy and carry usually only 1 child that you want to have a low rate of misscarriages you carry to term.
12:27 I really hate this type of logic because it's often very difficult for trans people to get access to hormones and healthcare, (especially with politicians trying to make it illegal, which is genocidal behavior) but pretty easy for cis people. My cis male cousin was given extra testosterone when he was younger and now is pretty tall with a thick beard. Meanwhile it took my trans brother jumping through many hoops to be able to start testosterone. Also therapists get involved and lots of other things. They aren't giving hormones to trans people as easily as people like this pretend they are, which is a dangerous belief that actually causes it to be even harder for trans people to get the healthcare they need.
When Elliott Page came out I saw so many articles calling them the star of The Umbrella Academy, which I’ve not seen, it took seeing “The star of Juno” for it to click 🤦♂️
16:03 there’s also already been a trans M&M (she’s lesbian). The brown M&M was originally a male, now she’s a girl M&M dating the green M&M (who’s also a lesbian) 😂
You can absolutely get testosterone prescribed as a cis guy. It's super easy. I took one blood test that showed my natural levels are low, and I got a prescription to bring me up to average and I've never felt better in my life. It did take a month to get insurance to cover it.
The PCOS point you brought up is just entirely right. My friend and I are afab nonbinary folks, they're trans masc. We both have PCOS and we take estrogen because of it. We both produce way too much testosterone so it wouldn't be a good idea for us to take it which is something they had considered when my friend was first figuring out their identity and before they had been diagnosed with PCOS. But yeah, even cis people will get prescribed stuff like that. Cause there's still conditions that affect hormones. For me, it gives me some euphoria to know my body produces a lot of testosterone, but we take estrogen to help cause PCOS is literally hell on our bodies. Honestly this is why sex education/sex health education is so important, not just for safe sex and general genitalia care, but just for everything to do with hormones and such. Cause so many transphobes have no idea that everyone produces both hormones and they sure as hell know nothing about conditions like PCOS or other conditions that affect hormones. I mean, it was actually thanks to my friend that I even got my PCOS diagnosis and was able to go on birth control since my PCOS caused me a lack of periods unlike theirs. But hormone prescriptions and such are so unique to each person cause our hormone output is so unique. Transphobes really do just...don't even bother to try to be educated about even cisgender health and such. Cause yeah it affects trans people too, but this is stuff that is pretty basic to learn. Hell, we learned about PCOS and other conditions in our senior genetics class. It's such easy info to access. But I shouldn't be surprised that transphobes are uneducated, I should just be used to it by now. Edit: Not to mention how difficult it is for a lot of trans people to get access to medical care. My friend would have been lucky since she has a supportive family and had access to such things. Ultimately my friend decided against going on testosterone cause of it being such a big change which was good since a year later they were diagnosed with PCOS. But the meme presenting it as easy for any trans person is just ridiculous :/
I recently changed to "any pronouns." I started out with she/her, then for a while I used he/him, and for a year they/them. But now I came to the conclusion that it does not matter how people refer to me. I have no gender, so people may make up their own mind. I do not use neo-pronouns myself, but if people want to address me with those, they can do that too. (They might have to explain to me, what the correct forms are, but I will learn)
bro the idea that trans people have easier access to testosterone than cis people is fucking bizarre, i wish we were anywhere near as able to access hormones as cis people. i've waited years and talked to therapists and i still haven't started t yet. cis people don't have to go through years of therapy to get hormones, while it takes forever for us who actually need the right hormones to stay alive to get them.
My brother’s Facebook profile picture is a picture his friend made (he asked my brother if he could make a picture of him and my brother being a fabulous human being said sure) and half of it his normal him with his stubble and the other half is clean shaven with makeup. (He played Killer Queen when he was in year 11, people actually thought he was a girl until he spoke and he even got wolf whistled which is hilarious if you ignore the fact it was at a SCHOOL PRODUCTION). Anyway, he gets TONS of transphobia from people thinking he’s a trans woman. He’s not bothered by it cuz like, cishet 23 year old politics and _drama_ student with a ridiculously fruity lil sibling, and he says that he’s drawing that away from someone who would be affected but still. It’s fuckin insane how these people can see someone with (half) makeup and long hair and go “YOULL NEVER BE A WOMEN” like, yeah? He’s not?
About the shampoo thing, I'm pretty sure there's some studies that show shampooing doesn't change oil production, and clearing the scalp of build-up is really helpful, especially for people prone to dandruff. Though it is true that many people don't need to use it as often as they do, and there's ways of going about hair that are better for everyone.

I don't know what scoliosis is. I don't think I want to know what it is either.
@@1th_to_comment. it’s a malformation of the spine in an s shape that causes pain. People with breasts often have pain in the back when they have typical spines bc of the weight of the breasts. With scoliosis that pain is even worse! If you’re older than secondary school you probably were checked for it at some point in the vaccination and yearly checkup process.
This reminds me of the time I put the trans flag emoji in my twitter bio during pride month, and a person who had been anonymously harassing myself and some friends automatically assumed that that meant I was MtF (I'm AFAB non-binary lol).
They sent me an anonymous retrospring message, something along the lines of, "you're delusional, you'll never be a girl. You have a d*ck. Everyone supporting you is just being nice to you because you're mentally ill" and I could not. stop. laughing.

This. Cisgender gay male here, and I just don’t get why people can’t wrap their minds around others not fitting into their tiny, TINY personal version of the human experience. Missing out on a whoooooooole big world out here, bigots.
My mom, a cis woman, got testosterone to balance her hormones. It's literally not a big deal. I don't know why people make it one
heard a lot of cis women might need hormones when they reach menopause because of the hormone imbalacement there.
Next to this, think of that superbig group of women who use hormones...(contraceptive pills contain hormones, and some other types use hormones as well to reach the desired effect).
It sometimes seems as if the people who are transphobic think that hormones were never around and when transpeople started getting a bit more attention and momentum in medical science and wards in hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies rushed to develop hormones specifically for them.
In sort of the same way that transphobic people think that puberty blockers were developed specifically for trans children in mind, but were around much longer before they started treating transchildren with it.
I even had someone respond to me that "puberty blockers to treat precocious puberty are then used to actually treat a health problem!!! And giving them to trans children is not actually treating a health problem!¨ (This was someone trying to use the argument that puberty blockers are "very experimental in nature and the side effects are completely unknown").
The person asked why it was considered OK to give it to transchildren "because the long term effects are completely unknown" and when I explained that children experiencing precocious puberty have been doing fine even with the blockers administered, along with the fact that for those children the amount of years in which they have to take those drugs might actually be 2-3 years longer than most transchildren will have to take them.
Unfortunately the person kept repeating that treating precocious puberty was a natural health consequence they tried to minimise and that "blocking puberty in transchildren is different!" and it was mindblowing to actually see someone reasoning like that. "One form of puberty blocking with a drug is good and no problem health-consequence wise, and another with the exact same drug is completely unknown and dangerous health-wise!"

It's typically pretty clear that accidental allies are genuinely hateful but in their stupidity have bamboozled themselves, but this one legitimately reads like sincere trans woman affirmation
Being called man as a str8 trans woman by LGB groups, does that mean I'm a gay man, therefore more than valid as part of the LGB group?
They usually aren't sure what to do with this one.
On the other hand, from a first glance, you can also see it as them saying that the only real women are what we consider cisgender, given that specific line
It's funny how she loves to hate straight people
I'm going to be honest, if I saw this in public I'd just assume it was made by a trans woman
Fr, genuinely don't know how someone could mess up this badly at being a bigot lmao (not that I'm complaining tho, keep up the incompetence transphobes!)
as a genderqueer person, the most gender affirming comment I've heard is from a transphobe who was trying to insult me.
they saw on my ig profile that i had a generally androgynous style and were like "you're just dressing up as a man, you'll never be a real man" and i replied "I'm not a man lol". then they were like "you'll never be a real woman, stop trying to be something you're not!"
it was hilarious. like which one is it, bud? you're really stroking my ego here. i have the schrodinger's gender apparently.
We have a TV-program about trans people transitioning here in The Netherlands, and a part of each episode consists out of small outtakes in which two or sometimes one transperson takes out a random question from a little bowl of questions that's in front of them and answers it (sometimes they don't if it's a downright offensive one).
One time there was the question "What was the biggest insult that someone tried to make that was accidentally supportive?" and two transwomen thought for a moment, and then one went "A girl one time tried to cuss at me by going "You fucking ass....." and had wanted to say "asshole" and retracted the last word partially, and then corrected herself by going "You fucking bitch!!!" and I was like "Ooooh female slurs, bring it on bitch!" :P.
On the getting testosterone to get swole thing: Don't quote me on this one, but I remember reading somewhere that if you add too much testosterone to your body, that can mess up your own testosterone production and you'll end up with less than you started with because your body stops producing it on its own. Plus, that meme is also just flat out wrong, as it's ridiculously difficult for trans people to get the healthcare they need. All the shit I had to go through to be allowed to medically transition, while an aquaintance of mine could just mess up his body with steroids no problem...
Nah but for real, just the other day I tried to explain to a person that minors literally legally can't go to gender affirming surgery after they whipped out some bullshit data that "minors in the UK are having 400 times more trans surgeries in the last 4 years, stop this poisonous pedo propaganda" or some shit. It was under the news about how Russia is banning "lgbt propaganda" and they were like "finally someone brave enough". Absolutely disgusting.

@@brook_angel male pattern baldness yup! you can take supplements to counteract that tho
The accusation of a candy mascot being trans based purely on design implies the idea that barely-anthropomorphized candy has genitals or other biological characteristics with which to assign them gender…….which sure is a hot take, ain’t it? Especially to foist on a character designed to make a brand of candy more appealing to children. Especially from the crowd that accuses “gender ideology” of crimes against children that starts with the letter P. It’s almost like they’re the ones obsessed with genitals and s*x while trans people and their allies just want to live their freaking lives or something.
Also, it's clearly the green one who's trans, not the purple one. In the 80s the green M&M mascot was a male-presenting almond one, but now she's female and has no nuts.

I wonder if trans people could avoid some percentage of ire from conservatives if instead of saying “I’m transitioning from girl to boy” they said “surprise! I’ve secretly been a boy all this time. I’ve merely pretended to be a girl so that society would accept me, but I am confident enough to throw off this disguise to show who I really am. My real name is [new name], [dead name] was just a character. I’m very sorry if you liked [dead name], I tried to let my real personality shine through, but [new name] will no longer hide behind a mask, this is the real me, it was me the whole time, no more hiding”
Eh, I guess it would take too much of a group commitment. Conservatives already know about trans people.
So basically the Chevalière d'Éon?
Now I'm imagining a trans person pretending that they'd been stealth transitioned for ages and are now detransitioning. Like, for example a trans woman going all "I was sucked in by the scary gender ideology and they masculinized me when I was a young girl. Now I've seen the light and am working to return to my natural femininity" as a way to explain away their transition to transphobes.
still a perfectly good way to "come out" to a conservative though.
Often times, that is the way we think about it and the way we phrase it to others. I've always been a woman, which is why it was so hard for me to live as a man.
Of course, not all trans people phrase it that way, and even I don't phrase it the same way all the time. We're too diverse of a community to have just one way of thinking of things.
But gender is considered to be in the brain, and there is much scientific evidence to support that we are born with a gender in the brain. So my brain has always been female, even if my body was male. Realizing you are trans is a journey of discovery, of discovering what was always true about yourself.
No. They only care about the genitals you had at birth.
The sign (6:29) can be interpreted as saying that only trans women and some intersex women are real women

@@Cha4k you just said incel is a slur under a different comment so im very doubtful. no doctor is ever going to call someone a "breeder". what problem is that even supposed to solve? and no medical form is ever going to say "Have you had young ones the old fashioned way" either when they could just say "Have you given natural birth before?". young ones and old fashioned way are colloquial speak and wouldn't be permitted to be put on a form. and again, what issue does that sentence address that would lead to to believe its real? like who tf is saying the word baby or child is offensive? the answer is no one btw. in case you arent just making shit up you need to find a different medical care place bc that is not a medical care place. and finally, we dont need woman as a functional label bc it wasnt one in the first place. if a study is about cervix cancer and it is done on women, the study wont be valid. there are women without cervixes and people with cervixes who arent women that skew the data. it shouldve been done on people with cervixes instead. see how ive described people with cervixes three times in this paragraph in a practical way that doesnt sound abrasive like " Cervix Haver" (which isnt really used by anyone except some media outlets), and still managed to refer to the actual demographic i want to instead of fumbling through unclear and too generalized labels like woman? its not that hard.

I think an alpha male channel had incredibly accepting views of trans men (a viewer sent an email asking what the youtuber thought of alpha trans men). The alpha youtuber said something similar to 11:14 and explained that that means it does not matter what someone is assigned at birth. Of course, he wasn't super knowledgeable about the matter, but hearing it was incredibly refreshing.

@@rpggaming1976- Those who do not accept the science fear trans people. Their moral system teaches that anything outside of cisgender heterosexual is willful perversion, deliberate deviance, and sexual promiscuity. And the men don't want to be mistaken for gay.

God, the "they won't give me testosterone to enhance my muscle mass, but trans people can have it without problem" really hurts, because I actually had a classmate in high school who was a cis guy and he was already getting testosterone because he was doing sports, no problem, but I have to visit my therapist once a week for months and am still not on t

hey one small thing: when you were talking about people who use any pronouns having kind of a leg up when it comes to misgendering because there’s no way they can refer to us incorrectly, that’s not quite right. being referred to specifically as a girl when i’m not a girl is still very hurtful and is still misgendering. people only using she/her for me because i “was born a girl and look like a girl” is still misgendering, because at least for me the point of using any/all pronouns is that i don’t like using just one set, and someone choosing only to use she/her because “i’m a girl with extra steps” is still very much misgendering. i totally get what you were saying but i just wanted to let you know that it isn’t as simple as the pronouns at least for me
Yeah, it's more of a personal matter. Some don't care about pronouns at all and therefore say that they use all, some care in some certain situations and etc,etc. I imagine a person who can't be misgendered as someone who identifies as all genders, using all pronouns and don't care when people say smth like "pick one" and they're fine if people are using just one set of pronouns and view them as a certain gender. So, you see that it's a very specific description :)
Some ppl are just transphobic so don't listen to them. People who undertand you and actually matter,care for you and stuff will use different pronouns for you and make you feel good^^ And the others that don't do that(intentionally cos some might try but slip up and make mistakes) - their opinion shouldn't matter. You're not other people's perception of you, only your view of yourself really matters here :) After all,when we feel down about ourselves it's not as much as what others say it's what we believe to be true of all the things those others say. Point of view,a certain angle in the situation is a very powerful tool. Have a good day/night/time/ life^^
As a genderfluid person I absolutely agree with this!
As someone who goes by all pronouns because I'm genderfluid I have to say it might be good for you to instead have pronouns you don't use.
So not any/all
Because if someone says any/all people are gonna use any and all pronouns
If you don't like people just using she/her then you shouldn't have that be an option
I don't mean to be overreaching but I just think that having any/all pronouns means you go by any and all pronouns.
I understand this might be more of a "someone trying to do it on purpose to insult you" kinda way
Which, that always sucks
Like, I am AMAB and if someone who knew I was genderfluid would use only he/him with the EXPRESS purpose of hurting me.. Yeah, that sucks.
But I do say I go by all pronouns, so I don't get mad when people call me he/him exclusively
Cause, I go by them all, all the time
Yeah I prefer she/her they/them
But if you wanna call me he, go for it
Im sorry if I misunderstood the message! I don't mean to offend or harm, just lend an idea to exclude a singular set of pronouns
I automatically assume it means "use whatever you want and is easiest for you, I don't care" when I read "any pronoun".
I absolutely won't mind using more, but I'd never get that from this expression, so you need to spell that out for us to know.
That's completely understandable everyone has a different relationship with their gender so it's never good to assume
too much testosterone actually gets turned into estrogen, so, taking testosterone without estrogen blockers will hurt muscle growth 💀
I Wonder how many people think it's a big deal that some people advocate for Minor's to take hormones when some of them aren't Even transgender
from what i know it depends on how it is taken, if in pill form yes, if injected then no.
There's a limit on that. Testosterone that can't find a receptor to bind to, will get turned into estrogen but only up to a certain amount (the receptors for binding excess amounts having been converted can run out as well). Excess hormones are secreted by the liver and kidneys and leave the body through urine.

So, as a transmasc person and a feminist, I will say that though I get why the terms breastfeeder, uterus haver, etc. exist to be inclusive of trans people, I can also see from a cis woman's perspective how that can suck to be referred to due to the patriarchy seeing cis women as nothing much more than baby makers. It can easily seem dehumanizing after years of feminism movements. So I do understand that. Even though I tend to just say things like people that give birth or specify afab when speaking, I personally try to stay clear of anything that sounds similar to "baby maker." Just wanted to put that point of view out there.
I think it’s fine in a medical context to use terms like uterus haver if it’s just talking about the functions of the uterus, or diseases affecting it, etc, because it is correct to call someone who has a uterus and uterus haver. What would be weird is calling all afab people uterus havers in like casual conversation
@@stalkkaajatyyppi the wording even sounds more like a machine or breeding cow. Someone/people w a uterus is less of that so I think the wording is important here.
lmfao "uterus haver"? why not just say "biologically female", especially in medical contexts (not so much as a colloquial term to refer to people with.. well, female organs.)
is that word considered offensive? why? some people are biologically female and others arent. is it claiming that trans women *arent* biologically female? why isnt the answer yes?
anyway thats me guessing, im just wondering....
cause "uterus haver" sounds disgusting.
I tend to prefer person first language for exclusivity. "People who menstruate" if its about period talk or "People with uterus" if it's like specific to uterus talk. Or even "People with prostates"
It's not perfect but it feels like it makes it more about the people that share an experience than the body organ
Although it's TERFs who want to boil womanhood down to a matter of anatomy, rather than the emotional experience of being a woman. It's trans people who are saying that a woman is not defined by her uterus, or lack thereof. If someone doesn't want to be seen as a "baby maker", wouldn't it be freeing to acknowledge that women are not defined by biology? They're still a woman, whether they make babies or not.

@@percy.loves.plants ohi hi!
Last year my class of 5th graders asked me what a trans person is, my best (paraphrased) explanation was: a person with a physical condition that due to fucked genetics/conditions during the gestation period, got the wrong body externally.
I know it's not the truest and best answer, but I'm an English teacher (as a foreign language), I only have 50 minutes of class with these children and the question was too important to ignore.
I did my best 🤷♀️
Eyo i like that
It reminds me to that video of a transphobe in a podcast being asked "then what happens when a man brain is born in the body of a woman?" And said smth in the words of "Well i'd change the parts of it until it looks like the body of a man-" other cuts him _"you just explained transitioning"_
Dude's shook
Yup, cis-men can definitely also get testosterone prescribed. An older friend of mine needs t-gel because his body doesn't produce enough testosterone anymore after an illness. He started to lose his body-hair and with that his self-esteem. He got testosterone prescribed and now he feels much better again c:
But wanting to use testosterone to "enhance your body" or whatever is basically just doping...
I would've had some of the hormones the pituitary gland normally secretes administered along with a medicine to slow my thyroid down, so the growing hormones that would've resulted from this intervention would have a chance to do something. When I was 11 my parents were concerned about my body height falling below the average of most other children, so I was sent to an endocrinologist that checked me out for the next 2-3 years. If my body hadn't figured out things on it's own they would've intervened because there were concerns my thyroid was breaking down all the puberty hormones prematurely before they could do anything.
Research eventually showed my body just took a bit more time to figure things out and at 14 years and 1 or 2 months I got into boy puberty.
The only thing that sucks now is knowing how awfully close I was to getting puberty halted, I learned in 2018 that the screening process for boy puberty starting was nearly identical for transgirls....
The thing about people having a problem with breast removal surgeries isn't just for removal either. If someone wants a reduction: NOT a removal, they'll still get shit on for it. There was a video circulating around of a documentary of a woman who if I remember correctly, had size GG breasts. She said she found them uncomfortable, they caused back pain, they made her feel weird and she didn't feel pretty or like herself with them. (Although I don't agree with aesthetic or gender affirming surgeries for the pleasure of other people, it does feel as though she wanted this for herself, and didn't have other people nagging her about it.)
In the comments of this video were a bunch of gross men talking about how it was "Such a shame that she would do that to herself" and comparing it to their favorite restaurants going out of business. There were women who were so angry because "Ugh! I wish I had boobs like that! It's so disrespectful to do that when there are flat chested women!" and then would go on about how they just KNEW that her friends and family bullied her into the surgery because they were jealous. It was such a gross topic place, and it was all on the top comments, I didn't even need to sort by newest and immediately found those gross comments...
I don't understand how other woman can get mad over someone getting boob reduction. Like, YOU KNOW these things suck
@@genericname2747 Most of the women were flat chested. They were mad because they wanted a big chest like that because they were conditioned into thinking that all men like big chested women. I got into an argument with a guy there insisting that even gay men like boobs and that back pain caused by big chests is comparable to hip pain caused by big testis somehow. Even gave this wacko story about a guy he knew who had a big pair and all he had to do was yoga to get rid of his back pain... Good for him but that's not how it works for most big chested women lol. I did stretches and rigorous exercise in highschool with a big chest and it still causes back pain for me, then tried to tell me I wasn't doing them right despite having coaches there who worked with me through them. Anyone getting mad about this just boggles my mind, and then men pretending that they know more about a womans body is the icing on the cake.
@@EnbyAxolotlOfficial People confuse me.
Can I just say that trans people do not have gender affirming surgeries performed for the pleasure of other people? This might be news to you but we don't do it for other people, but to feel better in our bodies....
@@Dutch3DMaster Hi there! I'm a female presenting non-binary and my brother recently got gender reaffirming surgery! He got it for himself and I'm proud of him for it! If you would have read the rest of that statement, you would have seen that I had also said "But it seemed like she got the surgery for herself".
Some trans people DO get gender reaffirming surgery because they think that they have to in order to be considered trans. Many trans people online genuinely think you HAVE to want surgery in order to be trans (Which isn't true). This is the biggest reason why some people detransition. I know it's not a big number of people, but that number exists and way too many of these detransitioners decide to campaign for harder gender reaffirming care. Ignoring the fact that this happens won't get rid of people who do get these surgeries for the wrong reasons. It happens sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with making mistakes, but it's still something we should try to avoid.
Being condescending to others is uncalled for even if I had made a small mess up in my statement, as even in my original comment I was still clearly on your side. "This might be news to you" but reading the entire comment before getting rude would be less embarrassing for you.
I don't get why people get so upset about people transitioning. What harm does it actually do to them.
Does an angel die every time someone transitions a la fairies in Peter Pan or something?
For example, I don't like the aesthetic of the human body being buffed up to the extent that bodybuilders push their musculature.
But good for them if that is what they choose to do. I only hope that no harmful chemicals are being used, for their wellbeing.
If it makes someone feel good about themselves to work out and do what it takes, then be happy for them.
Same with transitioning. It no skin off my todger.
replying to myself lol
if i were a parent, this would wholly be my opinion.
i wouldn't let my kid transition, as much as it hurt not to... although, I'd probably do many things differently than other people would.
i'd probably try my best to be emotionally close to my child; convince them that im always a place to rest their feelings on, so I would know if they wanted to transition in the first place, since thats the most important, and thats what my mother did for me.
id also probably try to raise a debater.... but I think they'd beat me tbh.
just saying; its not safe.
i understand the perspective of teenagers ("i need to transition; i cant love myself until i do") but ultimately teenagers feel this way about.. a lot of different things. like, "i need to lose weight; i cant love myself until i do" or "i need to get smarter; i cant love myself until i do" or "i need to look prettier", "i need to be sexier", "i need a boyfriend", "i need to be cool"..
i am, 100%, boiling it down to insecurity. ultimately, gender dysphoria specifically, *is* an insecurity, just a nigh uncontrollable one.
its likely wishful thinking to think that it can be rationalized away or healed with time, but while my kid waits, i'll definitely be there for them.
.. unfortunately im not a mother, so what I will do doesnt matter.
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 Not an insecurity. If anything, the opposite. I became secure enough to admit that I'm trans.
If your kid was born with a cleft palate, wouldn't you get that fixed? So if they're born in the wrong body, why not get that fixed?
And to be clear, nothing irreversible would happen until they're an adult anyway. For kids, it's just a matter of social transition, and for teens, puberty blockers. Where's the harm in that?
I almost liked until I saw your reply to your own comment :/
"I would just want my child to be happy" but also... if they were trans you wouldn't let them do one of the only things that stops trans children from killing themselves.
Not to mention that transitioning is not dangerous apart from the transphobia they might face.
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 that is still EXTREMELY harmful. My parents are doing this exact thing and it has been slowly killing me. I have begged and pleaded with them to let me transition and they have been preventing it. It has caused me to be extremely depressed and suicidal and i have spent multiple nights crying myself to sleep because of them doing this
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 Stop insinuating that a teenager "having doubts about....a lot of different things" is immediately capable of being seen by a gender clinic, and also, that this gender clinic is populated by doctors who are all idiots and are completely incapable of separating people who might feel in conflict with their body due to something else and think it might be gender dysphoria, and the people they see who actually are gender dysphoric.
You reduce it to "a simple teenage insecurity" and it's just not that (and I will add to this that any teenage insecurity sucks and that we as society really need to learn to deal with treating other children the same age better than we are now doing, and learning how to see through the bullshit made up by the beauty industry).
It was unfortunate reading "I wouldn't let my kid transition, as much as it hurt not to" and then reading on about how you'd hope to be emotionally close and available for your child so that they would tell you: If you put off their transition (again making it sound like young children are getting on hormones as if it's no big deal) even if it's a merely social one, you can be there emotionally available all you want, but your child will turn away from you, after all, you are the one preventing them from living their life as they see fit.
This is along with the situation in which a child persists so fiercely that they throw traumatizing fits (traumatizing for the parents because they see such a deeply sad and angry child) till one of the parents gives in, which, at times has caused parents of a trans child to split up because one of the parents tried to force the original gender role based on their sex at birth on the child, while the other noticed how a small change could better the life of the child involved.
Sometimes it's confusing to see a message start out so reasonably good and then derail so insanely fast.

Non-Binary person with PCOS here. Yes, you do get Estrogen prescribed to you
@@jordanenby9734 poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. It's when there are "benign" (aka just noncancerous, not necessarily not harmful) cysts on the ovaries. It can cause a bunch of different conditions depending on each person. Some people can't gain wait, some can't lose it. Some people have huge fertility issues, others don't. One common factor, though, is hormone imbalances. My wife was diagnosed with it after the birth of our son, they said the extra testosterone she had while pregnant with him is probably what triggered her symptoms considering she hadn't noticed anything before. They gave her an antiandrogen and it helped her lose weight and regulate her cycle.

i feel like the breast removal vs breast augmentation thing goes with the thought that if you'reAFAB there's no possible way you would not like your breasts and that it is always a very important part of your identity therefore if you remove them there is a 100% chance you'll regret it. For this people if you are a cis woman wanting breast augmentation is okey since it goes aligned with this believed, but if it is the contrary you are delusional, you are just confusing things, you HAVE to like your breasts or at the worst case it you dont feel good about your chest it probably isn't such a big deal (I have seen not only trans man and non binary AFAB people being questioned for their decisions about their chest but also even cis women who get breast reduction).
At the end of the day, it's true, breast removal and breast augmentation are two types of surgery that belong to the same goal generally , that is gender affirming care, but this people dont see it like this. I think they see it like sex affirming care rather than gender affirming care and not only that but they also hold it to very conservative views on what even a cis woman can want.

Cowash isn't a new concept? Curly haired folks have been using cowashes for years. They are pretty great, though, although you do have to shampoo your hair now and then to get rid of any build up. Also, you could just use a sulfate free, color safe moisturizing shampoo paired with a good leave in conditioner? Which isn't actually more product because you kind of have to use some form of conditioner regardless of what hair cleanser you're using, usually

That genderfluid wojak meme is ironically funny to me because i met someone like that in a psych one time, and they literally would announce in 3 to 20 minute intervals when their gender identity shifted💀 and to add to that irony I, over the course of my mid to late teens kept trying to commit to being trans, even though it felt wrong because while i hated presenting as female, i didn't feel totally like a man either. it was like a "well I'd rather be this than that if i had to choose", sacrifice. I now understand that the reason i went through full on depressive episodes, and mental, bodily rejection eveytime i tried to apply a label to myself was because being gender fluid is not a linear fluxuation, but being stuck on a spectrum of being everything, nothing or something entirely different at all times, in varying degrees. it can be hell if you haven't found that "sweet spot" that works for you and utterly euphoric when you do. Like it took a lot of experementing and frustration to get to this apiphany. Sometimes it was binding, and dying my facial hair for years, and then randomly standing in front of a mirror wondering why i ever liked myself that way and deciding to be hyper fem, but then later also packing. Not presenting in a way where i feel comfortable can literally make or break my whole day if not days to weeks. If I'm not leaving my house As me, however that looks at the time, people aren't seeing Who I Am, and that is worse than being invisible. It's like being a blank, clay model and having to mold yourself every day. It wont always be the same, and what most embodied you one day won't always do the same two weeks, or 10 years from then, because you are ever changing, frustrated, and beautiful

If you're having dry skin problems during winter I highly recommend getting a humidifier. Technology connections did a great video about how the reason that the air is so dry during winter is because at colder temps air holds less maximum moisture, so when we heat it up to a comfortable temperature the air can hold more, which makes the amount its holding way lower than the maximum, making it feel super dry. We need to add water back to the air with a humidifier.
Elliot Page confuses me only because the first person I think of when I hear that name is Elliot from Scrubs and I think people are misgendering/deadnaming him until I actually remember that Elliot is more traditionally a man's name.

The all pronouns thing is so true. I have some friends who will continuously change up my pronouns during conversation. It started because they wanted to be sure they were affirming my gender and 'covering all bases' essentially (for context I'm gender fluid/gender apathetic), but now it's more of a running gag we use to confuse people. Also makes a good vibe-check depending on whether someone will ask about it/attempt to adapt or refuse to accept it.
Wow, I’ve never heard the term gender apathetic, I love it so much… feels like it would be on the same sliding scale of gender as genderfuck, so where as someone genderfuck is adverse to gender constructs and actively subverts them, a gender apathetic person might also subvert gender expectations but it’s more of a side quest than a goal.

there are only a few mammals who have periods. the short version: a thin layer of endometrium (womb slime) can be absorbed while its more energy efficient to get rid of a thick layer by throwing it out instead of reabsorbing it. so why do some mammals make in advance a thick endometrium and some a thin endometrium? most likely its a method to prevent misscarriages since a thick endometrium is able to throw out a non viable fetus with them. it makes sense for mammals who have a long pregnancy and carry usually only 1 child that you want to have a low rate of misscarriages you carry to term.

12:27 I really hate this type of logic because it's often very difficult for trans people to get access to hormones and healthcare, (especially with politicians trying to make it illegal, which is genocidal behavior) but pretty easy for cis people. My cis male cousin was given extra testosterone when he was younger and now is pretty tall with a thick beard. Meanwhile it took my trans brother jumping through many hoops to be able to start testosterone. Also therapists get involved and lots of other things. They aren't giving hormones to trans people as easily as people like this pretend they are, which is a dangerous belief that actually causes it to be even harder for trans people to get the healthcare they need.

You can absolutely get testosterone prescribed as a cis guy. It's super easy. I took one blood test that showed my natural levels are low, and I got a prescription to bring me up to average and I've never felt better in my life.
It did take a month to get insurance to cover it.
The PCOS point you brought up is just entirely right. My friend and I are afab nonbinary folks, they're trans masc. We both have PCOS and we take estrogen because of it. We both produce way too much testosterone so it wouldn't be a good idea for us to take it which is something they had considered when my friend was first figuring out their identity and before they had been diagnosed with PCOS. But yeah, even cis people will get prescribed stuff like that. Cause there's still conditions that affect hormones. For me, it gives me some euphoria to know my body produces a lot of testosterone, but we take estrogen to help cause PCOS is literally hell on our bodies.
Honestly this is why sex education/sex health education is so important, not just for safe sex and general genitalia care, but just for everything to do with hormones and such. Cause so many transphobes have no idea that everyone produces both hormones and they sure as hell know nothing about conditions like PCOS or other conditions that affect hormones. I mean, it was actually thanks to my friend that I even got my PCOS diagnosis and was able to go on birth control since my PCOS caused me a lack of periods unlike theirs.
But hormone prescriptions and such are so unique to each person cause our hormone output is so unique. Transphobes really do just...don't even bother to try to be educated about even cisgender health and such. Cause yeah it affects trans people too, but this is stuff that is pretty basic to learn. Hell, we learned about PCOS and other conditions in our senior genetics class. It's such easy info to access. But I shouldn't be surprised that transphobes are uneducated, I should just be used to it by now.
Edit: Not to mention how difficult it is for a lot of trans people to get access to medical care. My friend would have been lucky since she has a supportive family and had access to such things. Ultimately my friend decided against going on testosterone cause of it being such a big change which was good since a year later they were diagnosed with PCOS. But the meme presenting it as easy for any trans person is just ridiculous :/
Tldr, crackhead

I recently changed to "any pronouns." I started out with she/her, then for a while I used he/him, and for a year they/them. But now I came to the conclusion that it does not matter how people refer to me. I have no gender, so people may make up their own mind.
I do not use neo-pronouns myself, but if people want to address me with those, they can do that too. (They might have to explain to me, what the correct forms are, but I will learn)

My brother’s Facebook profile picture is a picture his friend made (he asked my brother if he could make a picture of him and my brother being a fabulous human being said sure) and half of it his normal him with his stubble and the other half is clean shaven with makeup. (He played Killer Queen when he was in year 11, people actually thought he was a girl until he spoke and he even got wolf whistled which is hilarious if you ignore the fact it was at a SCHOOL PRODUCTION). Anyway, he gets TONS of transphobia from people thinking he’s a trans woman. He’s not bothered by it cuz like, cishet 23 year old politics and _drama_ student with a ridiculously fruity lil sibling, and he says that he’s drawing that away from someone who would be affected but still. It’s fuckin insane how these people can see someone with (half) makeup and long hair and go “YOULL NEVER BE A WOMEN” like, yeah? He’s not?
About the shampoo thing, I'm pretty sure there's some studies that show shampooing doesn't change oil production, and clearing the scalp of build-up is really helpful, especially for people prone to dandruff. Though it is true that many people don't need to use it as often as they do, and there's ways of going about hair that are better for everyone.
the grease has soaked into her brain LMAO she can’t think clearly
I thought it was common knowledge by now that the M&Ms already have two trans characters. (The green and brown one, and they’re both dating.)
I need context on why we all decided they're dating
Having it pointed out that there's gender affirming medical care for cis people has made it a perma trap card for me.
wait are the colors in uno called suits?
Yeah they would be!!!!!
It stems from the original (most well known from/with poker) cards!!!! Each variety/differing type of card are called suits !!!!!!!!
(for example, Aces, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds are referred to as suits, numbers are *not* factors in what makes something a suit)
I uh... I didn't expect to cry today.
Imagine if all healthcare was limited for children. Sorry jimmy you can’t go to the doctor for your broken arm your not old enough to know that for sure 😂😂
Fr tho
If you're poor in America that's just reality
