Thankyou for this film.
Gret short keep up the good work
thank you
as a gender-fluid this really gave me some courage
Is this related to masked, the trans film? As a nonbinary myself i really enjoyed this
the acting is so good omg, the way they portray anxiety attacks is so realistic
That part got me, I actually teared up a little.
Yeah. So realistic.
@@the_zster_official is that sarcasm?
@@Kissable-st4r no
@@ebonystave8035 Teared up a lot over here. So realistic, such amazing acting. Took me right back to my teens when my anxiety was through the roof.
I remember when I was in gym and they said "Boys on the left and girls on the right" I went up to the gym teacher and said "I'm non-binary" and he's like "Oh alright! Non-binary people in the middle!" I was about to cry because of how sweet that was :)
the good ending
@TON 618, Oh my good how brave they are! I would never ever be brave enough to do that.
God I wish someone'd opened my eyes to that being an option when I was little don't get me wrong it's not like I'm old I'm only in my twenties but still can't help but wonder about what I missed out on sometimes.....sad sigh
🥹🥹 that’s so sweet
@@nbmoleminer5051 never too late!! if it feels right, go for it
Man I've missed Zach. And Bailey is an amazing new addition to this wonderful LGBTQ+ world. Both people truly are amazing. I look foward to whatever new plans you have in store for your videos. I can happily say that I would send and show these to my friends who would relate and love these as much as I did.
What a dream team 🌈
@@MomentumStudiosAU exactly
I remember Zach he’s looks so cool now!!
@Isabelle Myzer Zach is from the previous short film made by this Channel. The short film that Zach is featured in is called Masked. It's a great video if you ever decided watch it.
Wonderful?
when the teacher said "let's get all the boys over one side and all girls over the other" I was literally shivering... like I'm not non-binary but trans and if it happened to me one day... I have no idea where should I go... I'm trans man so I would love to go on the boys side but no one knows I'm trans yet...
Me too, I’m a closeted genderqueer person.
In that situation you have to "use the bathroom" because "you're on your period" that way you have an excuse to not go to the girls side
You should go whever your penis tells you to go. If you have one, go over with the boys. You can't change what you are. Non binary is a made up term. It's like saying I don't believe in air, so it doesn't exist. Like it or not, you are what you are.
i literally felt the panic rising up my chest and like oh my god. i’ve been in those situations before where they ask boys and girls to separate and it fucks me up (also a trans guy)
I hated when teachers did this
Zach looks so more comfy in himself here holy cow
We love ✨Character Development✨ here
That was one of my favourite parts
ye i love that
Zach is adorable. Also very nice, I hope the people playing these roles have a good life. If they are themselves what they portray here, I hope that they find the support of others they need.
@@PetMama1313 from the interviews posted they seem really happy!
I really related to Zach in the last film, so seeing him so much more comfortable in his own skin here and able to support others gives me hope for my own future. It’s been a rough summer, struggling against my family’s rejection of my nonconformity-this as a follow up to the other gives me hope that it won’t always be this struggle.
Ur family probably just doesn’t understand. I was born in ‘81 and I have a 19 year old daughter who falls in this category. The reason I’m even watching this is to learn and understand. I admit I’m struggling but I’m trying for my kid. Give ur family time. They will come around. Keep being you. Your happiness is what important.
@@Daniellelp921 thank you for being a supporting parent and trying to learn! I'm not non-binary, but I am a part of the (L)GBTQIA+ community, and seeing comments like yours really make my day.
@@browniesnofrownies4843 Aw thank you for saying that.
I’m sorry you had to go through that, I’m really glad this gave you hope, I’m always here under this comment if you need to talk. So much love to you, from myself (i use they/them pronouns btw)
@@the_alien_1239 I don’t understand they/them. Can you explain it to me? I’m not being mean. I really want to know. How can one person be they? I just don’t understand the reasoning I guess. If I ask my daughter anything (about anything lol) she just tells me I’m old and won’t understand. Well I am old and I don’t understand so help me please…
This is so relatable. I hate it when teachers divide people based on masculine and feminine genders and assume my gender identity. It really makes me anxious and pissed and the main character portrayed the anxiety so accurately! Love this film!
It's still practical for some lessons though
@@fluffles803 yeah really annoying as an enby though.
@@buzzer3659 what is enby
@@fluffles803 a person who identifies as nonbinary
You could try put non binary pins or pins with your pronouns onto whatever sort of clothing you can apply it to. This will really help if people know the flag or see the pronouns. If you can’t get it yourself try find a friend who can buy it for you. Hope this helps!
Was it worth the wait? Let us know what you thought of 'Still Me' below! 🌈
YES
Yes! Is a part 3 too much to ask for? …probably
Loved it. Can you add a link to ruclips.net/video/bLk8Dxf1xFk/видео.html in the description for newcomers who haven't yet seen Masked?
loved it so much! also so great to see Zach doing so well aww 🥺😍😍
Yessss
As a 44 yo bi demiwoman, this made me cry all the way through. As a therapist working with the queer community, I could see using parts of this in sessions to show how to effectively use mindfulness and the importance of having community. This was so well done.
Seeing Zach helping Bailey just made me feel little tingly it was really wholesome seeing how far he has progressed from MASKED.
This was so good! You got some great actors too!
Alanah Parkin and Kelsie Adelaide are very talented!
@@MomentumStudiosAU they really are!!
Zach gives me more comfort than the people I know irl
Same
OK so as a Conservative the question Bailey asked "Why does my gender matter" hit me hard. They are right. Gender does not matter and it never should. People are who people are. I cannot actually fathom using "They/Them" pronouns when speaking to someone but I will use their name instead. I will accept someone for who they are. No one should ever have to feel like they are alone. The far right and the far left have done way to much damage. My only and biggest issue is our children. Children should never be forced to pick a gender and the parents should never involve themselves into the child being a gender that the parents want. A parent should only be there to offer a safe place for their child to explore who they are and come to their own determination and the parent to just accept it and love their child regardless. My son came to me and told me one time that he doesn't feel that he's attracted to either gender and then later on he told me he is attracted to both. I accept that. He is my son, and I love him. His best friend she identifies as Queer, and I accept that. Some people need to realize before they say ANYTHING to someone who has gender dysphoria that they have feelings too and when it all comes down to it, they are human. We are an imperfect machine and we all need to love and accept each other, no matter what.
Just an opinion from one guy.
I'm agender and that pressure of when teachers split up boys and girls is REAL I was kind of freaking out in my senior year I came out and that happened and my gay af freshman friend stood in the middle of the room with me, he was a weirdo but it made me feel so much better, standing there shaking from head to toe with the teacher looking at both of us. I didn't change my name in real life, but online I go by Ray, and it's going great. I'm so grateful to have so many people there for me
I’m gonna be honest, this story is amazing.. from a trans male that is still young, naive, and with an entirely homophonic/transphobic family..I love this, especially the misgendering and dead naming (I don’t love it but I understand it.), I used to be A certain name now, I’m Finn.. It’s for sure hard when teachers misgender, or dead name me and others. The amount of times I’ve cried because I’ve been confused, or unsure, or had a panic attack because of this, is insane. I couldn’t imagine a teacher doing that. I feel so bad for Bailey, they shouldn’t have to deal with that.. nobody should. Sometimes I do wonder if people think of me weirdly, or think I’m insane because of my mind knowing im something else than what I was born. But I want everyone reading this to know, your not alone. We are all together somehow and someway, in our hearts we are connected and are here for eachother when nobody can be. I love you all no matter what, im always here for everyone..
-Finn, trans, and happy. :)
6:50 THIS is a very good example how you can help someone how is in a panic attack. Take control of breathing and get them into the situation/moment.
I love this so much. I really do. As a nonbinary individual it is pretty tough. But I'm glad that I know that there are hotlines to call if anything and even clubs for support. I am proud to be a Nonbinary person. Because in the end, I'm still me.
Same, I’m closeted though.
This film is ground-breaking, as was the first film. The title reaches out to everyone, regardless of 'who' that person is, and how they identify. Meaningful content. Thank you for bringing it to a wider audience xx
It's actually very sweet and sad.I am also a non-binary, but alas, I have not yet found those who can accept and support me.I hope for the best!!
Heeeyyy now you found one! :D
You’ll find them soon don’t worry to a non binary person to another you’ll find people who accept you
The part with the LGBTQ club is so heartwarming, I'm Pansexual and at school, there's this boy that said all LGBTQ people should die/burn, and it made me feel a bit offended. Also when we were starting dance class he called me a Lesbian. Just because I have a heavy preference for women wouldn't make me a Lesbian. Even thought I'm not Enby, I really like this short film. Sorry of any of this has nothing to do with the film
i just stumbled upon this and was extremely surprised to see this was filmed at my old highschool.
i was there in 2011,2012 and 2015...during that time i realised i was non-binary and started to socially transition. it was at that highschool i got mocked and threatened because of my expression.
seeing this is helping me really see how much things have actually changed for the better since i was there. still a ways to go but damn. so much better.
thank you for this.
I just f*cking cried 'cause it's so comprehensible...
Congratulations team beautifully compelling and heartfelt! Amazing work and awesome performances, go Alanah!!!!
Zach: The Glowup
Anxiety Attack: On Point
Hell I'm not even a minute in and I relate so hard to that coming out panic that i'm crying already.
I accidentally stumbled upon this video in my recommendations + I’m pleasantly surprised to see this was filmed at the high school I graduated from! Amazing work you guys do for the queer community, and I’m proud of being a Knox local 🥰
Well done team. You know who you are. Be very proud of the outcome. See you at the Premiere
The bathroom seen will forever be something that is a problem all the time-
I just wait till I get home I’m not even gonna lie to you
My way to cope with the bathroom problem because i cant very well use the male bathroom as i am afab but transmasc is i dont use the bathroom in public but the other day i found a unisex bathroom at school and i was like sweet relife as i had mu period and was exteremly dysphoric
Outstanding. Great script, and excellent acting. Should be and needs to be in the sch curriculum. Loved it. Will be showing to my 10 year old boy tonight. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Zach has grown sm since the first part omg. i love this
The end scene made me cry, they were all so loving and accepting of bailey. It hurts to know that barely anyone i know irl would treat me like that. I know its probably stupid because i dont have dysphoria, and i use any pronouns, but i just want to be accepted without any gender attached. I know i'll always just be a sweet little girl in everyone's eyes though. it hurts so bad.
This is so relatable! From the way Bailey feels about gender, to their anxiety, this film represents me really well and I'm glad this is out there for everyone to enjoy!
This is the best Short film i have ever watched in my whole entire life, The acting is also amazing.
I am old and it's hard to understand. Yet a human is a human and has feelings. I honor God's creation.
The one who helps them also plays in masked i think, they’re so great
i'm also non binary too, and ever since i've joined a LGBTQ club in my school i feel better knowing that there are similar people like me, it makes me feel like i'm at home, but a place where i can freely express myself and not having to deal with people misgendering me or misusing my pronouns :)
I myself am non-binary, this short film really touched my heart considering I am so scared of coming out to people. I guess I'll introduce myself here. "Hello, my name is Rea and I'm non-binary and greysexual as well. I use they/them pronouns, or am at least trying to get people to use those pronouns. The name Rea is my non-binary name, so it's not my original name. The way you say it is exactly how it is written, you say it while making the sound the 'e' makes, not with sound the 'i' makes. I have only come out to 3 of my closest friends. I do hope that one day I'll be able to come out to my family tho." That's all I have I guess. Thanks for reading
Same I'm Non-binary/Demigirl/Neutrois and I'm scared to come out and I'm only out to a few people and no one wants to use my pronouns. They're She/They and everyone uses she/her only
@@DinosaurNick I know right? It's exactly with me as well, nobody uses my pronouns. With my friends that I have come out too, they rarely use my pronouns.
Hi, Rea. My name is Micaiah (Cai for short), I am nonbinary and demisexual. I primarily use they/them pronouns (as they/them are the most comfortable). Micaiah (Cai) isn't my birth name either.
I've come out to my family as lesbian (because...*sigh* women), but so far I haven't even bothered with the nonbinary part. They're very homophobic and I'm not really on speaking terms with them rn anyway, so...
@@DinosaurNick this might not help much, but I'll use your preferred pronouns.
Also, I love using "Mx." as well. For some reason it reminds me of the word "minx" which reminds me of the phrase "you mischievous minx" (is that a saying? I might have made that up in my head). And mischief reminds me of Loki.
Greysexual?
I'm gonna cry, aren't I?
Edit: Yep, I'm in tears-
Not because it's sad, it's because we here don't have a support group and because here, where I live, people are extremly homophobic... I'm also questioning my gender, I prefer she/her, but they/them is just fine. Not to add I'm bi. I heard some stuff in school, and let's just say the only time I'll come out is when I'm out of this country-
as a non binary person this made me so happy, I also unfortunately relate to some things Bailey went through. The acting was SO GOOD!!
wow thank you i learned practical tools from this very insightful movie that i hope i can use to help others. i am 63, have no problem with my physically determined gender (female), have no clue to anything a lot of our youth is experiencing, yet if i can be that truely loving experience that can just remind someone to breathe in and out, tell me 3 things you see, 3 you feel, and just be there
i wasn't put here to judge i was put here to love thank you for the movie, thank you for the tools
I had to watch this in school, in year 8 so you can kind of image what happened but I thought this portrayed it quite nicely so well done
We’re curious, do you mean they played it in class?
@@MomentumStudiosAU our teachers played it to show like "there are different people and we must all support them" But quite a few of the people in our class are homophobic and were kind of making fun of it, though the video told the message and was portrayed quite nicely
Crying so much. Zach is me and Bailey is my best friend.. you can tell that after Zach came out and got help, he’s learned skills on how to deal with your mental health and now he can help others like Bailey during a panic attack. That’s the exact mindfulness technique I use for panic attacks and it really works.
You might not understand how it feels to be transgender or non binary but I’m sure everyone can understand how it feels to feel like you are all alone in your suffering. You don’t have to “get it” to be supportive. If Bailey feels better being called they/them then who does it hurt to do that? You are only hurting them when you refuse to use their pronouns.
Bailey looked so sad in the dress it really hurt my heart. You could see the pain in their eyes when they were called their deadname. The acting is phenomenal in these two short films. I’m 30 years old and we never had LGBT+ groups growing up but seeing them now makes me cry not out of sadness because I didn’t get them - but out of happiness that hopefully no other person will feel the loneliness I felt. I solemnly believe that all that pain I went through was worth it because look how far we have come.
If you are a young person who’s non binary and you are struggling because of non acceptance, remember you are so strong and resilient. You will find people who will accept and love you for who you are. You are not alone in this world, your rainbow family loves you for who you are. Hold on. You will make it.

"Why does my gender matter?"
It doesn't.
Unless you are in a place for dating, what you identify as, or what you got in your pants is irrelevant.
i can literally feel the dysphoria at 4:48 like omg same
better acting then some really professional movies💜
As a genderfluid person, I get why gendered bathrooms suck so much. Like, you gotta be one or the other to use one, and I unfortunately don't pass enough to comfortably go into the men's room.
I don’t feel safe in men’s and always meet with judging eyes in women’s. It is what it is…
This was absolutely incredible. It’s amazing to see some representation for non-binary folx. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Stay safe
In my school, we have a pride club, where everyone is in a safe space. It’s incredible. I only wish other schools and students could have this opportunity. Hang in there, everyone. You are valid, you are amazing. Stay safe.
I don't have gender dysphoria, sometimes I feel feminine, sometimes masculine and sometimes just wish gender did not exist and want to be in a natural body. I'm pretty comfortable with my birth sex but I still don't wanna fully identify with it.
Think back 70 years. What happened to them that identified as non-binary, trans or homosexual. They lived their lifes with grief and punching through everydays pain and where happy to die in the prevision of heavenly paradise. What a wasted, frittered lifetime in a social cold-hearted world. but just think back 25 years. Us comin' out of age with no Internet, left-alone in the freak out, all-possible 90s. Same outcome. And today in the new open-doors world with Internet and millions of Insta-likes to catch to be it and in and busy find your place in a world where everyone tells you how you have to be. Same outcome. Still.
Such an important message 💓👏🏻
I need a feature-length movie this was amazing
10:46 I’m introvert, but this feels like a dream come true
I know that's not the point but can we talk about how amazing the support group looks. I need something like that group it looks so nice and the people so kind :)
As a demigirl this video is very comforting
what is the difference between demigirl and girl?
I went through almost the exact same thing as bailey when i came out at school but i didnt have anyone to help me. Now I try and help everyone i can so no one has to go through this
AMAZING WORK. the way they talked about the Anxiety and how to help with it 🤎🤎🤎🤎
I am a cis gender man, but I do consider it nonsense to assign a gender to toys, such as cars are for boys and dolls are for girls. Society needs to change this.
Really good! Thanks for this Video!
This was so beautiful and touching to the heart. I loved it, there were such cute moments at the end. 💕
_- Sorry, off topic comment, but the female school uniform in this video is very cool, do you know if there is a similar dress on Aliexpress?_
I can relate. I've had these struggles before. In my old group I was the only cis-gender one. I was a misfit and they all pressured me into being gay, trying to get me into relationships with girls and other non-binary people. I wasn't accepted being straight and I was called a homophobe for keeping with my sexuality and gender. They also tried to get me to change my gender because they said it was cooler and I was just being transphobic. I left the group because they were toxic and now my new group accepts me for who I am. :)
I won’t breath until there’s a bonus or part 3 comes out.
I recently came out as non-binary. I feel the struggle, Bailey is going through. I have been struggling myself 5 years and I am glad that i have friends to help me through this.
This story was so good the actors were all amazing and the portrayal of anxiety attacks was spot on
I cried watching this. I felt Bailey's pain so well.
i like how yall brpought zach back
This was a really good short film! Also I have the background music on my playlist so I recognized it lol
THERE ARE TEARS STREAMING OUT OF MY EYEBALLS
i love that most of the panic was internal, she wasn't bullied or anything. i think that's how a lot of nonbinary people are, they arent targeted but when gender arises naturally it can become very stressful and I'm glad they showed that.
As a non-binary person this hurts a lot. I hear a lot of people saying something "don't make you sexuality/gender your personality" but what can i do if so many things in this worls are so gendered? I have to chose and every time i just can't
What's wrong with the tie thought?
Our genders, or lack thereof for some, are part of who we are so those people are saying "don't be the part of you that makes me uncomfortable"
Me, I'm going for a mix of feminine and some masculine except where it's unavoidable because that is me. If it were me I'd choose what's comfy regardless of what gender society says it's for unless it's too dangerous.
Oh and nothing's wrong with the tie, just the jerks who made an issue of it. There wouldn't be anything wrong if Bailey were a girl and they were wearing the same outfit either.
DAMn OUR BOI'S LOOKING GOOD, MAKES ME SO PROUD. makes me wish my loves lived closer . I hate being physically isolated from my family
zach’s voice is just,, goals, man. goals. it’s so gender-ambiguous, i want to sound like that so bad
Love your own sound it’s healthy
He does sound so cool
Same!!! I try os hard to attempt to make my voice sound like that’s but it still sounds way too girly *sob *
Yep me to
SAME
When they asked "why does my gender matter" I broke down. I really wish all that shit was easier. Thank you for making me feel valid again
I wish that it was easier too, I hope you’re doing ok and I’m really glad that this makes you feel valid because you completely are ❤️
Honestly I am a huge fan of LBGTQ+ community even though I am straight ....I really dream of becoming one of the greatest LBGTQ+ activist because I feel that they are a part of us and not different
Man, you people have been sold up shit creek on a lie. Your gender identity doesn't matter, but you've been tricked into thinking that you need to obsess over it and create all these smoke and mirror costumes and theatrics in pursuit of some unatainable complete validation. You shouldn't be wasting one second of your time on God's earth worrying that because you like something that isn't completely gender typical that that means you have to go on this wild hunt for more labels to apply to yourself. No, you're not special in that. Plenty of men and women like gender atypical things without engaging in this bizarre theatrical production of gender identity.
@@godseed7984 well sometimes people don’t like themselves. They can’t make themselves feel valid. So they need others to tell them they are. But. We all are valid. If it’s not hurting anyone. Why should it matter? We should focus on having fun in life and making sure we enjoy it while it lasts. We only get one and we should enjoy who we are. Even if people think it’s a mental illness or unnatural or stupid or whatever they want to call others. But really. We’re all just people trying to understand ourselves on this big blue and green rock and that’s all.
@@polarcorpuscle2941 lol you don't get the point because you don't feel what others feel. There are tomboys and feminine men but there are people that don't fit into those categories either. Some people don't feel gender. They're just making themselves more comfortable by being their selves. This overly binary system makes people uncomfortable.
Bailey: *feels comfortable in the group*
Me a bisexual in a homophobic city: damn I felt like that just at pride month
Same though! I'm a bisexual demigirl in a homophobic transphobic town
ikr?? i live in a homophobic COUNTRY.
@@justyourlocalcommeterd1986 what is it
Me too! I'm lesbian and genderfluid but still closeted. I (secretly) went to my first Pride this June and I seriously never felt more at home, safe and respected.
When I went to Pride everyone was so friendly to me and literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON I met there (even if we only briefly talked) asked me for my pronouns and used all of them.
I've never felt so valid in my life! I hope I can regain that feeling when I move out of my hometown and come out :)
@@Dalisa516 I really know how you felt! The pride parade is the best place ever to feel valid and happy!
"I'm not a girl. And I'm not a boy. But I'm still me. Why does my gender matter?" ...and then i started crying

This was filmed at the school I’m attending and since I identify as non-binary and only now after being out for months are people starting to accept me, this video is so impactful. Honestly, the lgbtq+ club there has made me so happy and I know this is just a story but I’m happy for Bailey, they deserve the world 💛🤍💜🖤
This is so cool to hear! Want to join one of those groups for real? Knox Youth Services runs heaps of fun LGBTQIA+ groups just like the one featured in Still Me. You never know, you might even recognise some of them from the film! www.knox.vic.gov.au/our-services/children-family-and-community-services/youth-and-teenagers/youth-services/lgbtiq-young-people
I’m so happy for you! I’m glad the club makes you happy and yh I just hope you’re doing alright :))
Despite the anguish that non-binary, gay or other people suffer, they are lucky to have the LGBTQ community. At least, they know that they are not alone and that there are always people there to listen to them and sympathise with them. Not so long ago, LGBTQ groups did not exist and people who were non-binary and not heterosexual would be told to pull themselves together and be quiet.
@@alext2963 what the fuck is a shcool
Ahaha
for the toilet situation it is bloody annoying when there’s only men or women’s bathrooms I just tend to use women’s as they’re normally more clean and have bins so it’s better when it’s that time of the month, but I’m lucky that I’m not that bothered about it but for other non binary it can be very upsetting and invalidating ( sorry I’m crap at explaining lmao )
ur not bad at explaining x and as another enby myself i get u
You did pretty well, though 👍
@꧁Rain꧂ I luv ur pfp!!
I relate to that I tend to use the "men's" as my school isn't to excepting when it comes to bathrooms
I live in Sweden and most public toilets are non-genderal (can you say that?) and I as a woman don't want to meet a man in there. I came up with this idea to have two different rooms but one fore *Men* and the other for *Everybody else* I got this idea when a debate occurred where "men" were afraid of meeting LGBT, transgender or transvestite at the toilet. And some LGBT people didn't feel comfortable to use either toilets. I would be comfortable in using the *Everybody else* for sure and LGBT, trans- or non binary people would be welcome too. My experience is that It's mostly "men" that have issues about LGBT-people, I think.
"men" means in this case heterosexual men (that refuses to think twice about this matter).
I love how the mom is so supportive of Bailey. The anxiety scenes hit way too hard, it’s so realistically portrayed. This is amazing.
as a 29 y.o who went to school when they/them pronouns weren't around, I gotta say it really warms my heart to see younger people having a better understanding of their identity and sticking with that even when it gets hard. Good on you if this is you - I completely support you!
As an Enby, I can confirm, the separating boys and girls thing is HELL. I've even gotten bad panic attacks in P.E for it at school, and had speed-walk to the restroom, just to cry. I'm glad that there's been more representation of Non Binary people, and it's good representation. Wish I could've had this kind of representation for when I was a kid :')
I’m so glad that there’s good representation now too and it’s more talked about in school environments. I got to a “girl’s” school (it’s called that but there are some people that are non-binary and transmasc there) so I don’t have to go through the separating thing but I know how hard that must be. All of my teachers just say “ladies”, “girls” and just tons of gendered terms and it’s a bit difficult. Tbh my school is not that bad with homophobia+transphobia (apart from a few instances) and half of the school would fight you for it. I hope you’re doing ok ❤️ I’m sorry you had to go through a bad school experience, I hope you’re doing better now
What is Enby?
When these names will end
@jules ☆ What is homophobic? Nobody uses this word where I live
In my P.E class I was put in a group called the ‘mixed group’ which is for both female and male groups and, my gosh the group was a life saver because two weeks after being put into I grew the courage to finally use they/them pronouns. But I hope the best for you.
@@tennisthelegend Do you understand us non-binary people? We have to deal with groups separated by binary gender while us non-binaries don’t have the option to have our own groups for our gender most of the time. So how about you do some research instead of shoving your head into the unknown would you?
The acting for the panic attack was way too good. The way they cried and talked was so accurate, and im speaking from personal experience here.
The acting in Masked was awesome so I've been excited for this, and it's great. I love that Zach came back in this film as well, comfortable being himself and also able to help others like Bailey. Non-binary people need to be recognised, so well done for helping get the message out with this epic film 👏👏
the "boys on one side girls on other" be like:
gender binary: *goes to one side*
gender fluid: *running around*
neutrois: *stands in middle*
multigender: *becomes slime and spreads out on the whole
agender (me lol): i guess im dismissed
I feel like Agender might leave the area, curl into a ball, walk in circles, walk aimlessly, or do something else.
@@Endo9319 starting to eat garlic bread 😅
im pretty sure they mean your biological gender
@@riverd3698 Garlic bread?
@@vardets1032 what about intersex people
I love how Zach uses the technique "Name three things...", it's really helpfull, I sometimes use it as well.
I can use it as rarely or I don't know. I'm glad my gender doesn't feel fully female,I'm demigirl :)
I came out to my mom as a demigirl yesterday and she supported and accepted me
yay!
So glad!!
Ik this is late but I'm happy for you!
I'm glad she did! I'm also a demigirl, but my parents are homophobic so I don't think I can come out with them
yippee!!!!
soggy eyes from the mid-50s trans woman in this corner of the internet. Film, story and presentation beautiful on every angle.
Lots of love for you ma'am, as a young gender-questioning person 🖤
@@noone-ks9ce thank you
Sending all my love to you girl! ❤️
Hope you have a great life madam! :D
Have a great life, Sally!
As a non-binary, I love the representation, really!
(Sorry for bad English, I'm Brazilian and I use google translator)
dw babe, your english is fine.
@@labyrinthine444 how would they know what dw means
@@_scientistjeongyeon idk man, i just assumed they did.
Sé algo de portugués. tu ingles esta bien lo hiciste bien jaja
@@_scientistjeongyeon i think its something like "dont worry"? by the context
the way Zach helped Bailey ground during anxiety attack >>>
I’m a trans boy who is also going through the process of coming out. I’m actually going to go to my first session of a support group for trans folks next week, I’m looking forward to meet ppl like me!
i'm so happy for u!
fuck i just realised that zach is the same zach form masked out and THATS why it’s a sequel
ikr it was awesome seeing Zach again, I was wonderig what happened to him after the ending of Masked
Being trans masc and a gay kid in a homophobic and transphobic public school is rlly hard but knowing that other ppl know what this feeling is like is just such a relief and it makes me realise that I rlly am not alone
Yes we’re here for you and we know how it’s feels love you ❤️
No, Hello, you are not alone, but you were alone in that homophobic and transphobic school.
I am bisexual genderfluid kid that goes to a homophobic school, I was trans once, I was really open about it in school and my name was Lucas, and one day, A teacher told a transphobic kid and he started telling everyone. I cried and cried for 10 minutes straight.
maybe if you could learn to spell the word "really"
@@ChrissyTheMusicFreak how can you stop being trans?
My skin began to crawl. I felt their pain. I'm genderfluid, and my pronouns are He/Him and They/Them. I feel what they had been feeling, no fitting in anywhere. Ridicule thick on your shoulders. Your eyes go dark. You feel the world hit you in the neck. It feels like nobody cares about you. When the truth is, there is always someone who will stand up for you. Make you believe in yourself. And who you are is never something you should be killed for. To hurt is to know that pain. The pain of people crushing your identity. Only because they feel entitled. And to feel separate from the world. I just want them to know, I understand completely.
I hope things get better for you, glad ur still here
My friend deals with these things... I cried for how unfair it was and I how I couldn't help him and the pain they had.
i don't get it, it's just a sex you were born with, society overcomplicates it
You're a man and an alien?
@jules ☆ I won't.
i have so much gender envy for zach-
Sameeee
Yup, same
What do you mean by gender envy?
'Gender envy?' Good grief, that's a new one.
@@leeriches8841 It’s not really, you just haven’t seen that term used before.
What saddens me most is the portrayal of the school. I’m quite sure this may well reflect what horrors still happen in many places, but I work in a school in which we are respectful of all genders and have supported children transitioning and expressing their identity beyond the binary. I wish it was the case everywhere. Great film. Should be shown at every school in staff training.
At my school everyone is friendly regarding the LGBTQ community too, both teachers and students. I wish it was like that for others, I hate that other people don't get that luxury.
My school is pretty much like this,,, theres a few good teachers but other than them its hell
I saw this yesterday and I liked it and it also made me sad. We didn't have this kind of support when I was a kid and it felt unrealistic to me. Today I got invited to a weekend meet up of a new local enby support group by a fellow friend who saw me struggling.😭😭😭 ty
I love how the teacher was so chill when Bailey said their new name
I'm not transgender but I have gone by a different name before and it hurts so much when people don't get it
You think she was chill? I think she just didn't care, I mean, she did it wrong all the time
@@samrose3570 Yeah makes sense
@@samrose3570 At least, the teacher did not scold her. Not so long ago, she would have.
School for me is almost out, so I’m planning on going by my new name (Jay) in school starting next year.
