i didn’t cry
Did you? 👀
Are you sureeee?
; - ;
🤗🤗💜💜
I did.
I am trans. I am also a programmer, a pastel goth, a vanilla goth, a radical leftist, a musician, a sad poet, and a furry. Stereotypes saw me and decided to shoot me in the head in a dark alley and I just went with it
If you fit into that many stereotypes, then you must know the deep magic... you must be a C programmer.
@@matthewcornell5619 c# baby 😘
@@Im_Merobiba_ That's just a gateway language to C++ or Rust, based on my experience.
@@matthewcornell5619 if I ever use Rust someone needs to put me down
Musician? Whatya play?
This might an r/whoosh on my part, but T4T stands for “Trans for Trans”. It’s a way to say you are a trans person looking to date another trans person. A T4T bottom is a trans bottom
That T4T meme was pretty funny actually 02:13
I was laughing at how OT didn't understand
@@Austin23191 yup😂
the problem with OT is that you never know whether he's joking or genuinely doesn't get it XD
@@Austin23191 when he Googled "t4t bottoms" I DIED. was definitely expecting him to find something youtube would be very mad about
Another note about skeletal remains is that archaeologists look at grave goods, the things that people are buried with, and try to be respectful of what the person whose remains they found would want…even if its a skeleton with mostly male physical markers, if the skeleton is wearing a dress (synthetic material lasts a long time) or if the skeleton is surrounded by typically feminine objects, the archaeologist will typically either call the skeleton they or she. I have a professor who intends to leave a note explaining her circumstances
That’s so awesome 😊💕
Either that or they just call us all sans
I know this is random af but i need to say it. I am a cisgender guy but being around this channel and community did help me become comfortable with my gender identity (as I don't I identify with most of the male stereotypes and I feel uncomfortable with my sexuality) and getting closer at understanding my trans friends so thanks to all of you! genuinely thanks to all of you for helping me learn what it means to be you.
we love a wholesome cis man here
Relatable

God never makes mistakes
He programs your behaviour to take priority over all else
@virgil7768 I have the same problem but I don't have any trans friends all my friends are soo f***ing Homophobic, my best friend just ignored me because I told him that I'm bi any advice please 🥺😭
I used to be homophobic and transphobic and largely thanks to your videos, I reexamined my biases and now almost all of my friends are some form of LGBTQIA+ , I realized I'm aroace & was able to accept myself, and I'm trying to educate myself in being a better cis ally to the trans community. Your videos made me see where I was failing and gave me hope to change. Thank you for helping me learn to love people better.
Character development
Super proud of you bro let’s goooo!!
We're proud of you.
Bro went through a character arc! GOOD JOB!
redemption arc
"People, who are faking it, know, that they're faking it" This validation hits on a different level. Almost made me cry! Thank you so much OT!
Tbh this underestimates the skill lvl of my brain to gaslight, gatekeep girlboss✨
wow. WOW.
@@G.F.SF55 frrr
What if I'm subconsciously faking it, like how do I even begin explaining it? I'm just confused, I don't get it (´;︵;`)
@@Ishub he's saying that you'd know that you're faking it, so don't worry about it. You've got this
Seeing OT nearly start crying at the meme about him made my day. I know he probably won't see this, but he's helped me, my girlfriend, and countless other people feel like they're valid and deserve to belong. OT is the wholesome dad/big brother everyone needs, and we all love him for it
I was non binary for a while and recently realized im trans, but my parents are huge conservatives that believe that all lgbtqia+ people are evil and against God. Your videos have gotten me out of so many times where ive felt hopeless. Tysm and keep it up!
Hey just to let you know that being trans means not identifying with the sex you were assigned at birth, so being non-binary is being trans. You just realized that you found out that you were a different type of trans than you thought you were. Congrats on discovering yourself and you are a part of the community
"I'm just a dude that looks at memes"
Being able to spread your own love while making people laugh and learn self love and love for others no matter who they are, is something incredible. Apparently, you have no idea how awesome you are. Thanks for being you.
OT is not just any dude. he's a dude who tries and usually succeeds to be one of the few cis guys who don't make me feel upset with their cis-hetero-normative bs. OT does not know his own worth. He's a gem.
So many dudes look at memes without adding value to them. OT and also the Click are adding value by responding to the memes with wholesomeness and LGBTIQ inclusiveness
He really is great. It's little things like humour and little factoids that just helped me personally see things on a different level and I'm a bit more comfortable with myself because of it.
OT is amazing. Forever and always respect on the name
i found this channel one or two days ago i believe, and i can 100% confirm that. actually, i could even after just one video. this guy is a great role model. i know there are lots of really cool people in the world, but seeing this attitude of his almost made me cry.
Other trans girls about to transition: i WaNt To LoOk LiKe MiStY
Me who wants to look like Nurse Joy: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
So you want to be in a state of quantum superposition?
@@gone_mad-tryagainlater yes
I want to look like Hilda but goth
I love how when loud people get sincerely emotional they get quiet, like how when you get the joke you just have this quiet gasp and look of awe, or how at 16:23 your response is just a soft, shaky "shut up" ❤ you're a neat dude
I'm not trans, but there were times when I've wondered why I'm acting the way I am after learning about my autism. The quote "if you think you're faking it, you're probably not," has helped me to relax more about who and what I am. You help a lot of people, ot, from a lot of different walks of life. We all appreciate you, and we hope you keep doing what you do best: being that force of good
I've learned that I'm am likely autistic, but I'm too afraid to tell anyone. I told a friend once when I really felt like I had to get it out, but I haven't told anyone else and that was more than a year ago. I've formulated lists in my head of every symptom that confirms or denys it over the past year, but I still feel uncomfortable talking to my parents. I do alright and I'm almost 18, but I know the need to know will just keep growing. Aghhh
@@keida8843 I learned I was autistic when I was 3.
As both, hell yeah. The whole process of recognising that after I was diagnosed is the reason that I managed to finally work out some important things gender-wise, I'd bet. I've known that I'm nonbinary for about 13 years but dipped in and out of "I must be faking it" denial for the first 10, and didn't even recognise my dysphoria _as_ dysphoria likely because of that.
It took understanding that I'm not some kind of pathological actor with being autistic to see the same thing about being trans.
i didnt know thats a quote, ive been doubting so many of my mental health problems for that exact reason so thats nice to know
As someone who is trans, autistic, and part of a system, that quote helps with all three of those things
11:15 - I have been harassed multiple times in the bathroom by ladies asking me if I’m in the right place or security coming in “to make sure everything is all right.” A few times I’ve exited the bathroom after whoever had been inside when I walked in left, to be faced by their husband/ other man person yelling at me. One time a guy saw me going into the bathroom, tried to grab me, and when I dodged his hand, he yelled, “you can’t go in there!” And tried to follow me inside. I don’t feel comfortable in restrooms anymore.
I am not trans. I have long hair. But I’m tall and wear jeans and t shirts, and so I must be a trans person trying to take an evil poo or something. Just let people be who they are. It’s not difficult. As the count stands, I have been given several new traumas in a public restroom by the very same women and men who say they are trying to protect girls (I was a teen the first time it happened) and I’ve been bothered by a trans-person in a bathroom exactly zero times. So who do we all really need to be protected from? Because it’s definitely not the trans person just doing their business in the next stall.
I can sort of see why one might fear a “man” going into the women’s restroom since women are at higher risk of being assaulted, HOWEVER one thing a lot of those same people don’t realize is that a sign is not going to stop a man from going into a bathroom to assault a woman. No real man is going to transition in order to have a free pass to assault a woman because it’s too much effort when a man can just walk into the bathroom and do the deed with no physical side effects to their own self.
They also don’t usually seem to understand the gravity of forcing a trans woman to use the men’s restroom. By doing so, that trans woman is at a higher risk of being assaulted themselves.
The lack of self awareness from people like that is baffling. It gives me a migraine every single time I see someone encouraging people to harass trans women, and hell, I’ve seen some women encourage men who carry to USE WOMENS RESTROOMS because they feel unsafe from the scary transes. In truth, they aren’t protecting anybody. They’re shooting themselves in the foot. It’s really sad to watch.
I’m sorry you had to encounter people like that. It’s truly gross and sad.
@@depixelator5599 yup, it's an endless, viscous cycle where they always have the upper hand
OMG! Do you live in the US? That's terrifying! I'm so sorry! Things have to get better eventually!
That's horrible!
That said, the trans people probably don't bother you because they assume you're trans, too. They're just as guilty of judging people on appearances as anyone else.
I used to be very transphobic/homophobic and I would like to thank you. I have realized that hating someone for being themselves is so silly and wrong. Your videos have helped me understand and support my friends so much better. I have never openly hated people within the lgbtq+ community but I know I have thought those horrible things and acted out with ill intentions. I am still learning, but through your videos I am becoming a better person, thank you. (Also through your videos I have discovered and accepted that I am bisexual myself lol)
I'm glad I have 6 trans friends, 4 in highschool and 2 online while also being Pan and Demi, to prove to myself that whoever you are and whatever gender, you're a normal human being in my eyes and will always have my support
I went from "I can't wear this cause of gender" to "I can't wear cause I'm too fat" 💀
Other than not actually fitting inside the clothing, being fat shouldn't stop you from wearing what you want to, honestly. I do understand having to deal with other people telling you otherwise can be painful, but there are always gonna be those who will support you, too.
The one who needs to feel comfortable with your body is yourself. Not a problem in wanting to change how your body looks, but please take care of your health if you do intend to do something about it.
You can change how you look, but you certainly don't need to do so for other people. :D
REAL (real)
Saaame
Mood
This is a tip that works for me: when I think I'm too fat I think of someone that is fat but still think they're beautiful. I usually think about my mom so in that situation I go "would I have said to my mom that she shouldn't wear this? No, of course not, then why can't I?"
I'm a trans guy and I was in a shop the other day looking at clothes and a staff member came up and said "the guys section is over there, we have mainly women's clothes over here". And at first I got mad, like, let me shop for women's clothes if I want to! And then I realised it's the second time I passed in public...
I was so happy and mad at the same time^^
So basically this 😡😲🥰
The weirdest part of all this, is that you could have been shopping for someone else. Noone should question what anyone else is buying, unless it flags legal problems lol
Also like, it's not necessary you were buying clothes for yourself. I was browsing the toddlers section the other day to help pick out a gift for a younger nephew it's not like anyone pointed me to the adult section
I'm probably nonbinary, but haven't been in any clothing stores since figuering that out, so I have been in the men's sections of several stores before as a "cis woman" (to my knowledge at the time) and I have gotten a lot of weird looks at times, but noone has ever said anything. Some of the looks even seemed somewhat supportive. I got a similar mixture of looks when I went to my high school graduation in a suit. Though that clothing choice was commented on. Noone said anything all too bad, but at the time I also wouldn't have cared if they had said something more negative, I was very confident in that choice. I would find it quite weird if anyone in a store tried to tell me that I should actually go to the women's section instead...
Also, OT, your soft little "shut up" was heart breaking. Your videos do so much for our community....or at least for me. You've given me hope that not everyone hates us. We still have people in our corner. Thank you so much for everything you do.
2:14 the fact he didnt get the meme and thought it meant pants 😭😭 hes so wholesome istg
The moment OT realised people know who he is...did I cry? Yup...
Waiting for the moment that OT realises that he is known for making people feel seen and known as their true selves...
💜💜💜 OT is the best, I hope he realizes it too
I totally freaking cried. I only found OT like a month ago and I’ve been binging his lgbt videos. So much love and respect and understanding. Heck, I’m crying again. 💖
Reminder that all of y'all are valid and deserve to be happy. Stay safe, eat food, destroy gender norms (or don't if you like fittin them, or do if you don't like the pressure but still enjoy them), drink water and get sleep.
Also, if OT is reading this, thank you for all the positivity you spread.
it's good to know the edlritch abomination has my back, powerful friend to have
Do you know cthulhu? I asked them on a date yesterday and he hasn't replyed, they don't have to agree but I would like to know if they're coming or not.
what if I want to destroy gender norms not because I have a problem with them, but just because I like the chaos and anarchy?
I didn't expect to be validated by an Eldritch Abomination here I am. Thank you
Everyone is valid except me
This video was the tipping point for me realizing I was trans, a little over a year ago now. So, I'll add to some of the meme posters and say, "Thanks, OT." You literally saved my life.
I came out as trans (mtf) around 2 years ago now. Pretty much everyone in my family disagrees with my choice, but I'm still going with it. I'm happy to have found ot a few months ago. Thank you to everyone who supports trans rights, a lot of us wouldn't be here if it weren't for all of you. And thank you, OT for being in our corner the whole ride
HOLY SHIT - the "she made a girl character as a joke" part really hit home HARD. That's how I learned who I am.
Same man
same lmfao
Lol same! We love dnd! The beginner guide basically says it is a fantasy game, there are dragons who cares what gender you wanna play and who you wanna love 😍
my 1st girl character was when I started my 2nd playthrough of Skyrim and several years later I'm now 21 and I almost exclusively use girl characters in any game I play where I can choose
@@bluestar_kun same! But elder scroll: morrowind (i dont have stronk pc)
Now i exclusively play as a girl in fallout: NV.
You are not JUST a dude who looks at memes on the internet. You are a constant font of infectious positivity. When I am feeling bad, I watch your videos and they help. Sometimes they help a lot. Transitioning isn't easy and any ray of sunshine and support makes a world of difference. Please keep shining you amazing, multi-hued Canadian rainbow!
I love the artistic expressiveness of this comment. It is epic!
Indeed, OT and The Click have gotten me through many a dark moment.
"You're trans? Have you ever considered that God doesn't make mistakes?"
"Well, he made you."
_Flawless Victory_
*_F A T A L I T Y_*
ngl I read that in the Mortal Kombat announcer voice.
Also, because trans memes, insert Bridget here. ❤
I like how he read "T4T" as "Team Fortress 2"
You aren't just a guy who reads memes on the Internet, OT, you give us the unconditional support and acceptance so many of us don't have in real life which is a great gift. Thank you.
Agreed 100%
you're not just a dude who looks at memes on the internet, you have created a space that people like me can come and feel welcome. we can laugh at jokes and hear someone be affirming and caring, and that has helped some of us in more ways then we can express. you are a pillar of support in this community don't forget it. thank you OT.
The "If you think you are faking it..." part really hit me because I feel like that all the time
I JUST SAW THAT ONETOPIC HAS THE LAND SHARK FROM THE CLICK IN HIS SHELF BEHIND HIM OMG THIS MADE MY DAY
Don't diminish your value, OT. You look at memes with a whole ass outlook most of us don't have, you collect and amplify messages of support, growth, and love. You share and educate without malice, and that is remarkable.
I second every word.
Seconded!
I'll just repost my comment here to try and make sure he reads it if possible, because I was thinking the exact same thing. Here goes:
"I'm just a dude that looks at memes"
Being able to spread your own love while making people laugh and learn self love and love for others no matter who they are, is something incredible. Apparently, you have no idea how awesome you are. Thanks for being you.
I agree. Several years ago, I was very bigoted when it came to anything outside of what I grew up with. Especially LGBT+ stuff. Over time, I met wonderful people that helped me grow and learn from their perspectives and how wrong I was in my beliefs. It took a while, but my friends were patient and answered my questions. I even found out I was Ace because i felt comfortable enough to question my own identity. I think OT is like that for many of us. A good person that shows us perspectives of others and makes us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves. Thank you OT and thank you Beardos and Weirdos. You guys are amazing. :)
Couldn’t have said it better myself
true fact about me and my sister: we're both trans. i would always tease my sister (mtf) about always playing girl characters, because "who would want to be a girl," and myself (ftm) always selecting boy characters and even being avoidant of playing games where you have to be a female protag. the way life works is a strange set of cogs
Hah I grew up in a traditional religious household and used to avoid playing girls but as soon as I started to break from the indoctrination I played practically nothing but girls and strongly prefer a female character. I'm not trans but I'm a femboy. I love womens clothing, it's much more varied and interesting and I threw out my mens clothing ages ago. Now I only have stuff for work, for the reasons that I enjoy being able to advance my career without older generations trying to put me down. Though I have gone to company events dressed as I like.
I'm transfem nonbinary and my brother is transmasc nonbinary and we joke that we'll high-five when we meet in the middle
Me too!! Me (mtf) and my transmasc sibling switched gender roles lol runs in the family I spose! We have always done the same in video games lol
It’s almost the same with me and my brother, I’m transmasc and he’s cis but feminine. I don’t know why and how that works
I grew up hating the color pink, now that I am nonbinary I don't have a problem with it. The more you are forced to be something you aren't, the more you will resent it. Now I wear pink whenever I want. It is a cute color.
I recently came out as a trans woman and your videos have really understand more things about how being trans is like
I love your pfp
Thanks for the: "if you think you're faking it you'rep orbabkly not", it really helped me
I'm not even trans- I'm a cis, straight woman. But I enjoy these videos soooo much. OT has made a safe space, and it's lovely to laugh and discuss these sorts of topics, exploring several points of view from a multitude of people! Fun and educational without the pressure of someone (mostly family lmao) pushing their ideals... Seriously, I come here to chill over soup after a long day, and it's always a good time haha Thank you so much!
Quite frankly, it’s cool and epic to see that these spaces don’t just benefit people like me, but also help cishets out too.
Similar case here. I'm older than the presumed typical viewer and bi. There's a lot I don't know because of when and where I was raised, and One Topic, Jammie Dodger and Click are my tutors, so to speak! They make learning about all the options enjoyable. I come here first thing in the morning, because the rest of the house gets up later than I do and when they are up, RUclips is kind of out of the question because they all want my attention the rest of the day.
I'm cis "het" and realised I was aromantic thanks to OT.
"The aromantic memes are very relatable... let me look what it is about? Oh... oh wait this is a normal thing to feel!?!?!?!"
Same, being cis female who is asexual hetroromantic.
A more trurhfull word was never spoken. I, 32 years old, cis, female, mom was a little afraid to might loose a important perspektive in the hole lgbtq+ political debate. The perspektive of the lgbtq+ Community. But I did not quite felt like to ready articles, studies and such. This never answered my questions.
But OT and you Guys did. I'm raising a child and I do now give my best to tell him
"If you ever Fall in Love with a Girl... (oh shooot!!!) OR a Boy, you'll might find Kissing very nice". I try to teach something that I might not fully understand. But you guys made me realise that this ist very important to try.
I needed this so bad today! My sisters are terfs and said that by standing up for trans women I wasn't standing up for ciswomen??? Thank you OT for all that you do!!!
That is like walking into a fundraiser for breast cancer and yelling at everyone there for not vs saying about pancreatic cancer. Like, they're not mutually exclusive.
Accuse your sisters of being antigay. Do it for me, your Internet Uncle-Gay.
Because they are acting like trans women are just f@gg0t-inna-dress, and then acting like gay men are all predators?
Did you know that back in the 1980s, gay men were portrayed as sexual n predators that also attacked women? True story, I saw a movie on TV where the rapist serial killer murdering women was gay.
So yes, yes your sisters *_ARE_* invoking that old homophobic trope. If I ever met them, I would throw that at them myself.
I hope you know that it often feels hard to do the right thing that it doesn’t make it any less right
@@anothermereapostleofjimpickens JK Rowling had Dumbledore saying that awesome thing about the choice between doing what is right or what is easy. Like, damn, how can one person be so right and so wrong at the same time? She should try reading her own books sometime.
But to OP, good on you for doing the right thing even when it's hard.
if you cna only stand for one group and not another at the same time then your goals probably don't allign with either side.
basically fuck that terf rhetoric.
Thank you both! It's good to know that I've got people supporting me even when I can't see them, and yeah, the whole JK Rowling thing is weird lol. How can you write something so right and be so wrong?
I love how in his outro he says "alright, get outta here" like he's a proud father about to watch his child do something amazing
love how i was constantly struggling with confusion and thinking i was faking being trans, but then this fucking legend gets recommended one day and since that day i have been unbelievably happy with myself. ty onetopic, you make things easy for me.
I just wanted to say thank you OT. I’m trans, ace, and autistic, and your channel is a huge safe space for me. I’m in that awkward first stage of Being Trans where you’re Definitely Trans but you still appear Very Cis and it’s Wildy Inconvenient And Annoying, and I’ve been a little stuck here for a bit over a year now. Your videos remind me that “hey, there are people out there just like you, you’re not alone, you’re going to get there, and you’re going to find your way of doing it.” And I really, really appreciate that. You genuinely make my days so much better and I can’t really encapsulate how much you really aren’t just A Guy Who Looks At Memes. You have made a huge difference to so many people’s lives, including mine. So thanks, OT, for being the funny, friendly, wholesome, loveable (and loving) guy you are.
Lots of love to all my fellow rainbow-filter friends (and everyone else who’s coming along for the ride),
- a Beardless Weirdo (they/he)
(P.S. I don’t really comment on stuff often (or at all) and struggle to tell if my messages come across as weird so sorry if this came across a bit awkward I’m Trying My Best)
Don'tchu worry, your comment is really sweet
what the fuck same im trans ace and autistic too
Don't worry your comment was very sweet :>
Your comment was super sweet! Wishing you the best on your journey!! :)
You're not alone
i started crying as you read the celeste part..."i brought my brother ... SHE seems to be enjoying it" that is just too wonderful, the pronoun switch of acceptance and love.
update i guess it's a teary day today because i ended up full on crying on the "thank you ot" meme because..you aren't just reading memes. you are giving us a place where, at the very least i, feel safe and loved and accepted for even just a brief period of the day.
I know you've probably heard this a million times but thanks for all the amazing work that you've done to help people feel safe and welcome being who they truly are.
16:20 STOP THE REALIZATION AND THE ENDEARING SERIOUSNESS THAT CHANGES HIS FACE IS JUST SO CUTE AWWWWWW
I agree with JoCat, as a straight male myself, You guys having so much confidence in showing who you are is so inspiring, while somebody like me feels shame over such little things.I wanna improve in my confidence, become something greater from the inside and out, and that's cause of you beautiful people. Thanks
You are light. 💕
OT, you have helped a lot more people than you know to be true to themselves. I got the courage to come out to my family because of people like you, Lexi, Finn, etc. I got push back, I was told it was a phase. My mother was the biggest problem. She hated the idea of me transitioning and "throwing away the name she chose for me". I showed her your videos, and she got to see that there are people out there living their lives happy, way happier than living a lie, and that there were plenty of people that would support me, even if she didn't. Well, that was 3 years ago, and today, my mother is coming with me to my first appointment to get HRT. She came with me to get my name changed. The person who was against my transitioning the most is now my biggest supporter. And I genuinely believe that wouldn't of happened without your videos.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
-Blaire
Congratulations, Blaire that is great that you have a supportive mother. I wish my mother was more supportive of me and my transition.

@@tankedwarthog6424 I think she finally realized that this was happening, with or without her, and decided "with" was the better choice
You go Blaire, you get that gender and you enjoy it!
"you're me" hit me really, really hard
Hearing one say that if you think you are faking it, it’s okay, your not helps me every time I question that I am Ace. Thank you so much One~
You know, you say so many wise things to be "just a person reading memes", OT. You spread knowledge around you which ends up improving countless lives, and you should know just how grateful are all of us for it. So thank you, OT. Whether you think you do or not, as a person who makes our lives bearable... you deserve it.
You are awesome. I agree with what you said 100%
Hearing you say that if you think that you're faking it, you're probably not, is so comforting to me. I'm a transman, but I have some femine quirks, so sometimes i'll be thinking: 'maybe i'm just a tomboy, not a guy', but hearing you say that comforts me and helps me have faith in my identity. Thank you for making this content that helped me figure out who I am :)
as a society, we rush people into figuring out who they are to the point where people, like you, justifiably get scared with whether you have found the right label.
im gonna tell you the same thing that helped me with this:
you think you might be wrong about being trans? so what? what harm comes from exploring the label and trying it to see if you like it. it's like clothes, you can try stuff on, choose to keep or get rid of it, and even if for more you keep it and layer you decide you don't like it, you can stop using it! you wouldn't say someone was faking owning a shirt bc they no longer wear it, right?
society doesn't really allow us to explore and try stuff like it should. but use whatever term feels most accurate for now. you might find a more accurate term later or change your mind or whatever and that is okay
i thought i was a cis crossdresser, then binary bigender, then binary trans woman, then nonbinary autigender trans woman, and currently at autigender bunnygirl (or autigender+bungender+female). but it took me from age 23-29 to go through all those labels.
@@cassiekierzkowski9887 thank you so much for saying this. It also took me a while to find out that I was a transman, and tried multiple labels, but i’m finally comfertable with my lable!
@@cassiekierzkowski9887 what is autigender?
Noone is ever 100% one category. Not only is what OT said true, but, it's ok to have qualities you might consider "feminine". A few quirks doesn't change the fact you're a man. Anything you might think is "too feminine".. look around. There's a cis man doing the same thing, somewhere, and he doesn't think of himself any less a man for it.
I'm a feminine cis guy. people have misgendered me on purpose to "spite me"? I guess. My point it that other people opinions on ur identity don't matter
I am trans, a poet, and this channel and my brother and mom really helped in my transition. Don't stop doing what you love
Wishing you, your bro, and your mom much happiness
The old dude trying to be nice is so wholesome and I love it
Hey OT. As a fellow beardo but in his 40s, I just want to thank you for helping me open my eyes and heart to the trans community through the power of memes. I've come a long way since I started watching your channel and you've helped me understand a lot of what our siblings of any gender or sexuality go through. Thank you for what you do
You're awesome dude, keep it up
I love that you've came to this channel with even the slightest opened mind, ready to learn and reconsider stuff is difficult to do especially if it doesn't effect you. You're doing an awesome job.
Of course thanks to OT the amazing but also thanks to you. You decided you didn't know enough about the lgbtq+ community and wanted to learn more. We need more people like you in this world who are willing to open their eyes before they judge what we are over who we are.
I'm not Trans but i am Non-binary. And as someone who had major problems accepting their Gender without thinking they were faking it. You saying that "if you think your faking it you are not" made me tear up.
You're valid my nb sibling :3
hello fellow br-uhh siste- uhh… humans!
Also non-binary…… and pan……and aromantic…….I completely agree with you on that one
Honestly, I see Non-binary as Trans if it's not what you were assigned at birth, just thought that would be something relevant here.
@@createfactory949 i mean Non-binary is under the Trans umbrella so i guess it's kinda right but people get pissy if you say your trans but identify as neither gender. you know?
This was way more wholesome then I was expecting I started crying and my mum gave me the biggest side eye 😭
Why are you so wholesome? Stop that, you are too wholesome. Love the vids.
16:35
when OT realized he was the person its so wholesome. bro you are the absolute best

I almost cried T~T too wholesome....

OT seeing himself in the meme’s is always my favorite part of him looking at these subs. I love him seeing the lovable and inspirational mark he leaves on everyone
so true. he's awesome and adorable and deserves all the love and affection. he should get a medal for how inspirational and truly awesome he is
My marshmallow (queerplatonic relationship) had always been very supportive of me when he got to know me. Yes, he struggled a bit at first, considering I genuinely enjoy wearing skirts while also being transmasc, but still improved very quickly. Now he frequently gives me gender affirming compliments. I've never felt this happy before, fully being seen and accepted by someone who means so much to me
I love that term "marshmallow". It's so cute!
I've been learning about QPRs recently and they seem cool!
I've never heard of a "Queer Platonic Relationship" before, what are they?
@Keebs yeah zucchini is quite popular I think! But I saw a list of other names for your qpr partner
One I came up with myself recently as well is cookie - food based names are the best
@Keebs oooooh, that's so cute! I love it!
@Keebs
I wasn't aware it also included more intimate actions as well. I just referred to what I have as a situationship (in a good way), glad to know I can classify myself as being in a QPR :)
16:19 my little heart. honestly dude, ive been feeling dysphoric asf recently and you are helping me get through it. youre not just a dude sharing memes, youre sharing love and support and understanding and i freaking love you for it.
15:43 women with strong backs are my favorite
Using Brooke’s comic as the thumbnail is well deserved on her part.
I 💛 BROOKE!!!
I absolutely love Brooke's art 💗
BROOKE!!!!!! 🥰🥹
brooke super epic
Brooke is awesome
I was not expecting it to get EVEN MORE then it's normal wholesome at 16:15. The shocked silence was just beautiful.
Thank you ot. You've helped us a lot more then you know
immediately I had tears in my eyes cuz me too
I friggin love OneTopic so much. I grew up in an extremely transphobic and homophobic religion and I’m slowly fighting the prejudices I grew up with from a young age. This channel is so great to help get rid of those old prejudices. I currently have a crush on an enby and I used to find it so hard to call them by the correct pronouns, but now it’s second nature and I’m so grateful
14:59 damn this made me cry for the first time in so long
WHY IS THIS SO FRIGGIN WHOLESOME GOD
still dont know what tf i am but
16:25
I know you were speaking on people who struggle with gender and sexuality and such, and the importance of having spaces for that. But what you said about breaking out of the same conversations with yourself really hit me.
I struggle with feeling like I don't belong anywhere and I have for as far back as I can recall in my 34 years. It's led to some intense assertions that should never have been earthside to begin with and I need to make my exit as soon as I can muster up the courage to do so. It's made me isolate myself socially and emotionally to the point that I feel utterly singular.
Recently, several people in my life have reminded me that I have people who care about me and want to see me thrive. And what you said really drove home how important these people are to me and why I need to not be so closed off. To trust, to be open, to feel both the positive and the negative to whatever extent they come. But most importantly, to find connection, so I don't have the same conversations with myself over and over
And that I'm not alone
You may be some guy on the internet looking at memes, but you remind us all that we aren't alone. You'll never know my name or see my face but I believe you're sincerity and genuinely kind spirit is a beacon in the dark to all of us who struggle.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank you, OT
(On the last post:) discovering I'm trans-masc has made me more comfortable with my feminity! I started wearing makeup and wearing skirts because I no longer associated my feminity with me being born female but as an active choice I could make
Sometimes you just wanna be a pretty boi and that's valid 💛
This! I hated makeup when I was perceived as a girl. As a man, I love wearing eyeliner when I'm going out.
Same here! I can use makeup as a form of self expression now, rather than a way to hide myself. And that's so much fun!!
Some people have actually asked me if I was wearing makeup before. I have dark circles around my eyes that work really well with makeup. I don’t wear makeup because of unsupportive parents. I’m a trans woman.
My god. Rereading that you can tell that grammar is not my strong suit. 🤦♀️
The “Byeee!” Reminded me so much of Hunter from the owl house :3
the fact that he knew so many trans youtubers is just so endearing to me and idk why (i also knew most of those on that list and that makes me very happy lol)
OT is not the straight ally we deserve, but he is certainly the one we need. We are not worthy of such a sweet guy having our backs. Thanks for being so loving, supportive, kind, and way too many other positive adjectives for me to possibly try to list, to all of us in the LGBT+ community and everyone else. We love you, OT.
As soon as I saw the meme with OT's logo in it, I said to myself, "Aw! It's OT!" OT, you should be proud that you were able to help someone out there for just being you and being a supportive person that you are.
15:20 This was so unbelievably wholesome, one, because it is, and two, because it somewhat describes my own journey about the LGBT+ community.
I remember asking my kindergarten teachers about if men can marry men, and women can marry women. Then, I grew homophobic during middle school. Now, I can recognize that the LGBT+ community is full of valid and amazing people.
i'm so happy i found this community and i love you all! this world is rotten to the core (just found out about sephora kids and toxic mum boys yesterday, holy hell) and all those videos are so wholesome. this gives me hope tbh.
i believe loving yourself is hard for everyone, but trans ppl really ARE a good rolemodel. And that's why i changed my mind from being more or less transphobic to being a supporter (didn't took me that much tbh, i like nice ppl and i always support good communication rather than standing still on a old timeline :D).
And i've learned so much in the last 3 months, thanks to onetopic, the click and jammidodger (and more) which i'm very greatful for. because i see things very differently now. Not only other ppl, but also me.
so thank you. all of you and your kind hearts. I love this whole community for it's wholesomeness, creating a save space for everyone, sharing thoughts and fears.
I guess most ppl disliking trans ppl have just no clue at all and are too lazy and uninteressted to learn something about the topic. And also maybe be afraid of learning something new, which didn't made sense for them before, or because someone older didn't teach them in the first place, that things can change. Sometimes even dramatically, like gender identity and pronouns :D Nothing in this world is made to exist forever anyway... So why not?
Why can't we just have a happy world? I don't care who you are, just be nice and happy being youself.
The meme where the kid goes "I would like to thank who helped me find out who I am" straight up made me cry. Like, OT's videos seriously got me to accept myself, or at least start opening the door to letting me question myself.
Really needed to hear “If you think you’re faking it, you’re not. You’re just figuring out who you are.” Thanks OT 💛
14:50 is literally me. I think the reason I say this is that I was just watching an OT video and It just clicked to me that I was probably trans, I barely went through a questioning phase. Hearing this makes me feel a lot better!
me too :]
me: "what if I'm faking being trans"
ot: "If you think that you might be faking it, it's a good sign that you're not."
me: "That's a good point"
brain: "But what if I'm using THAT as an excuse to fake it"
wow ok thanks brain :)

This reminds of a joke I thought of one time that Voldemort has a dead name.
It is definitely strange being seen as a young man (I started testosterone at 14). On one side, I was constantly suddenly told that wearing eyeliner (I'm punk and goth even now, interchangeably depending on how I feel) was feminine and disgusting. I was shunned from the girls bathroom but adults said I couldn't use the men's because they could still "tell" (they knew before I transitioned).
I've been told I'm not allowed to cry and I shouldn't talk about the fact that I go to therapy. I've been called weak. I've been called gay (which I am) by strangers in a hurtful manner because I wear skinny jeans. I've been shunned by women who believe in the "kill all men" stereotypes. I've been hit by guys who thought I was making a move on their new girl when she was my best friend.
But presenting as a girl was just as bad.
There is no good gender. There is none better than the other. There are bad sides to both, and amazing perks I never realized came from both.
Nobody looks at me weird when I buy things that are more masculine, and I get gushed over by older women when I buy period products because I'm "such a good boyfriend".
The experiences are so different but neither are better objectively. I, however, would much rather be told to shut my emotions down than be sexualized as a b***** lesbian. I would much rather be yelled at for wearing eyeliner than told that I look disgusting with no makeup. I would much rather be called gay for doing the things I've always done than be called broken and going through a phase when I presented as feminine.
I’m sorry people are treating you in a poopy way, that’s not okay. They also apparently haven’t got the memo that eyeliner makes everyone sexy, no matter what! (Or maybe they do know that and are just acting out cos of feelings 😏)
Old gothy - gender borked - punk here, and i'm sorry to hear that the 80's & 90's are still ongoing. (I knew that, but still, blegh!)
But i'm also heartened to see you stand by yourself in the face of the relentlessly gendered and normative BS we all get pelted with on a daily basis.
I was always told punk would never die, and reading your words, I believe that's true.
Rock on my friend!
You do you! It takes courage to be yourself. Never let that go
Dude. When I found your channel I was in a dark place, grabbed by trauma and with suicide on my mind. I'm trans and the world had gotten to me. I felt like there is nothing but hate outside of trans communities, hate that will just keep spreading until it destroys me and those like me. I saw friends and family buy into demonization and lies and it crushed me. You were so positive and accepting and caring of everyone (even your attitudes to people whom I wouldn't have given second chances was so shockingly caring) and I saw a glimpse of the world being better than it looked to me. So I managed to push on, found help for the trauma and come to a place where I'm not just ok but in many ways better than before. Thank you for doing what you're doing even if to you it's just looking at memes.
Stay strong, our little gender bird!
I may not know you, nor you me, but I'm glad you're still here. keep on being epicly strong!
Hi, hello, I just wanted to ask you a question and it is: What do you mean with "people whom I wouldn't have given second chances"?
"i'm gonna be pretty"
left me to tears
OT helped me survive my last few years at my transphobic/homophobic mum's house. Thank you so much OT. Your existence does so much, even all the way over here in Australia
hello fellow, Aussie, here for ya, buddeh
Indonesian here, hope it’s all good now
..The quote about if you feel like your faking it your probably not is something I needed to hear, I’m a baby trans and sometimes I sit here and think, “am I just faking it?” It eats at me. I cannot express how much I needed to hear it. Thank you Ot
Whats a baby trans?
@@thatchicksebby oh,cool
That quote's gonna stick with me for life, it's something a lot of us needed to hear
Yeah. I’ve been suffering from that fear for so long. I’ve always been afraid of trying to express myself because “men shouldn’t show emotions.” And “just be happy. Don’t show any anger or sadness.”
I don’t even remember how to smile properly. I feel so cold. My mind constantly on loop of nightmares and being told to basically not feel anything.
It’s gotten so bad that when I finally thought “I’m not a man. I am not (deadname) I’m a girl. I am Amy.” All I could hear was my own voice going “you are a boy. You’re not Amy. You are (deadname). If you do this. No one will be with you. You’re already worthless enough. And you’ve already caused so much damage. Don’t hurt your family more than you already have. just suck it up. Or maybe you should do what you were going to do when you had that knife.”
I’ve been dealing with that for so long. And I’m scared that this might not be the first time this has happened. I have recently found scars below both of my wrists. And I don’t remember where they came from.
@@shadowking278 I remember when I was in a similar place.. where I was so tired and couldn't really feel anything.. having things like "sl*t", "lying lazy piece of sh*t", or "embarrassment" running through my head like rapid fire..
Now that I realize I want to be a boy, I've gotten much better at discerning my own inner voice from other people's voices. The only advice I can give you is to follow what makes YOU happy. Look out for #1, because sometimes no one else will. Your gonna be stuck with yourself your whole life, your your closest friend. Then you'll be able to find the people who will be there when you need them most. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
💙💗🤍💗💙
Dude… when he said the stuff about questioning yourself I questioned myself because I am out forthabt phase and now questioning myself even more
8:34 I immediately recognized this one bc it was made into a hazbin hotel meme at one point 😭
16:32 I suddenly got something in my eye♥️🌈😭
Me too😭💕
I’m not crying 😭, you’re crying 😭
Seeing OT tear up on that one meme thanking him for helping them come out had me tearing up as well. OT I doubt you'll see this but you have been one of the biggest supports of my trans journey. Without you I probably would of never transitioned because I would have been too scared of the world. You are such a massive positive influence on not only my life but countless others. Thank you OT!!!
By this point, I have tears in my eyes by the end of an OT video about half the time.
Him saying “Ohhh so T4T is a brand of pants!” Made me laugh up my insides
I've watched this video over the past year or so at least half a dozen times now (my memory ain't amazing, but it comes with the benefit of being able to rewatch these videos multiple times and still feel like some of the memes are new). So I'll hop in with my own story.
I started questioning my gender in December 2021 after having a rough year. That year I was struggling with the pandemic, my relationships (or lackthereof) with others, school, and that same month I ended up dropping out of school due to my anxiety and being forced to go back in-person. At that point, I had felt really alone and had time to sit alone with my thoughts. I thought about my childhood and how I suppressed a lot about myself to fit in with others.
In January 2022, I came out to friends as Non-Binary and started exploring myself and my identity. I stumbled onto the trans side of Reddit and found OT through those subreddits. After spending a couple months in those subreddits, watching OT, and experimenting with myself, I had come to realize I'm a trans woman. It took a while for me to really accept it, but after a while, I just couldnt deny it anymore.
It's been a little over two years since I came out to my friends as a Trans Woman. Since then, I've come out publicly to my family and friends, I've started HRT (I've been on it for 9 months now!), and I've improved my life drastically! I've also come to realize that I'm an Asexual Lesbian too!
So this is all to say: Thank you OT. Thank you to everyone on the r/egg_irl and r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnns subreddits (rip r/traa btw). Thank you all for helping me figure out who I am and helping me feel safe and supported throughout my journey so far.

17:00 Literally me. Once I realized I was trans I understood why all my roleplay characters had been dudes
same but with women, the realization hit me extremely recently and I still don't know what to do with it
oh dang, well, glad ya realized lol
I’m starting to understand why I cosplay as Female characters only.
I cried 3 times in this video. You're not just a guy reading memes, your kind words make the difference to a guy who just reads memes. Thank you. Also thanks for the boop
As a young biologically fem enby who goes by he/they and has spent the past 3 years going back and forth with that identity, the "if you think you're faking it, you're not" really hit me. My family all thinks that I'm just confused, and that I'm being influenced by the people I surround myself with because my closest friend is a trans male. It's been tough, but for once I finally managed to block out other people's influences, which have been affecting me since I was a kid, and managed to figure myself out on my own terms. As hard of a time as I've had coming to terms with my gender, knowing I'm not alone in that has really helped. Watching videos like these have really helped in that. Thank you, OT.
16:24 shocked after seeing he was the true dad to all of us.
What a meme to open things up with lmao
The funny thing is that you actually helped me find out that I'm ace and THAT repulsed. I'm still bi and possibly poly. Thank you OT for teaching me more about the spectrum. 💕
Hey, sweet, a fellow ace!
I still remember being almost kind of startled by how happy I was to see OT covering ace memes. Now, I sometimes revisit his and Jamie's videos going over ace memes.
I always enjoy OT's ace videos. I knew I was ace before watching OT, but it definitely helped with doubts about that.
watching your videos really helped me figure out who I am. i'm a trans man and now am moving out on my own so i can start to physically transition. thank you for being a staple in the community.
14:14 as a trans girl who used to be a huge homophobe, transphobe and awful in general, I deeply agree with that.
16:48 LMAO SAME HAPPEND TO MY BUD
We played sky to farm for some candles and he told me he thinks he was a man, now that king is rocking with confidense and im so proud of him
6:11 OT no! Charizard does not evolve into Dragonite.
Both are final evos. It doesn't work. A sea snek that's not water type and a lizard that dies if it's flame dies.
hi my name is Christian but I go by Maxxi at work and my work is more accepting of my choice and after watching your videos I have been more comfortable with myself and thank you for your allied help and support keep up the good work and keep the word spreading. love all of you and all that yall do
8:13 i really need the Blahaj, not because im trans but because the sight of a pink shark for some reason made me smile for no apparant reason
OT, you're not *just* a dude that reads memes on the internet. You're a good hooman bean. In this day and age where people are happy to wave their - ism flags for all to see, it's nice to find people like you who are safe. You're like a safe harbor in rough, stormy seas and I won't let you downplay just how important that is. I come here every day for your infectious laugh (and the special secret) and coz I know I can be me here. Thank you 💕🔆🌷
