kayla being a vocal ally to trans people and being willing to not only use her platform to educate and spread kindness but also not being afraid to stand firm and refuse to allow bigots a place in her content makes me so incredibly happy and gives me so much hope 💖
Lmao
exactly thiss!!

I’m really Interested to know how this update works in the game.
@@yuhhbiscuit me toooo!!!
@@yuhhbiscuit Me to!
Love it vids ,I'm so happy they added pronouns!!!!!!
Pin this to the top!
I honestly love how they dropped it with no warning because it just makes it feel so much more authentic. They could’ve totally waited till pride month started and used the update for social media clout/marketing/advertising, but they didn’t and I really respect them for that!
Fair point :D
I agree, pronouns has always been a normal everyday thing and I like that its almost as if they patched a "normal game and QoL feature that we only got the chance to add now" and not make it some sort of trendy and glorified personality shtick marketed for pride month.
If they waited until pride month, I wouldn't have any problems just because in my mind June is a month to spread awareness and educate others about LGBTQ issues, as well as celebrate the community. But I definitely appreciate that they didn't wait since I know it's a month that's kind of taken advantage of by big brands. It shows that they really do care and want us to feel more comfortable as soon as possible
i dont, im suprised the fuckers didnt make this feature part of a paid kit 💀
They were like yeah we should have had that our bad
One thing I have always loved about you is just how seamlessly you refer to your LGBTQ+ sims. You never trip up calling Blake "him" or "her". I am 43 and sadly didn't grow up with the idea of choosing pronouns, and so it's something I still struggle with. Don't get me wrong, I'll never stop trying to be better, but thanks for showing us fellow allies the best way to be one! And to those who really needed this update, I am so very happy for you! I am glad you are being recognized.
Wendy, I have the same problem. I found practicing talking about them to my husband helps! I also found that referring to most everyone using they/them also helps as well. It is widely accepted even by cis people because we have always heard it being used in a sentence. That is how I have been teaching myself the last few years. I am 46. ;)
I'm 58 with a trans niece. The struggle is real. In my case it's just saying she with everyone but my Mom and her husband, aged 80 and 66, but it gets confusing at times. In the 80s, I learned the phrase, I'm straight but not narrow, when a few of my friends ended up with AIDS and didn't make it to our 10 year reunion. I've been an ally for a long time and I love the normalcy Kayla brings to the subject!
@@khowler I was just taking to my husband about how important it is to have transgender and no binary representation in the media and with influencers. They teach me daily and I get to practice changing my language in a private, stress free environment. Representation matters for everyone.
@@andreahale6999 very true. You never know who may be non binary and may not be comfortable telling you. I am very open about being an ally. I have lots of friends of all the community. I still have a problem with pronouns but my friends know if I mess up it's not out of mallace or anything like that.
i love u
I like how they released it now rather than during Pride Month. It was ready now so glad they didn’t do what the majority of companies do during pride month and use it as a marketing tactic. Sooo happy to see us represented!!
I love it when they do that, as if it's normal (and it is) instead of making a big announcement about it.
@@dumbledorf5029 exactly. It´s normal. Your username is not however, love it :D
@@purplexninjamom aww thank you.(and I do love your pfp)
There's something so absolutely tragic about Blake getting their proper pronouns only after death, but i guess better late than never 🤣
YES! I immediately thought of Blake
Who is Blake?
@@lucyngo87 A sim in her youtube legacy challenge
That’s some unfortunate irony, poor Blake 😢
RIP, at least it wasnt the killer rabbits 😂
Kayla’s PSA about pronouns at the beginning was beautifully presented and eloquently stated. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lmao
@@karleychilders6908 Why do you think it was distasteful?
Yeah it even hurt my feelings a bit when she said you’re no longer welcome here even though I fully respect the Lgbtq+ community. Idk I’m sensitive most of the time 😭
@Karley Childers trans people are constantly discriminated against not only online but through big things like changes in law that don't let us live our lives safely, kayla unequivocally stating her support for trans people is definitely disgusting, stating that she, and her other sims content creator friends, do not welcome people who purposely disrespect and hurt other people is not disgusting
@@karleychilders6908 it's alright to be mean to transphobes
Kayla sounding so polite while telling transphobes to leave because no one likes them is so fantastic. Carrying herself with such grace while telling hate filled people to GTFO
No comments ?! ight bet. You described the vibe perfectly! So ditto ig
She’s the sweetest person ever. Like she will LITERALLY LITERALLY go straight to heaven.
I’m friends with a transphobe and am knitting her a blanket. Me and my genderfluid friend prefer to avoid her, but it’s hard to me when she has contact with my mutual friend who moved away.
It’s stupid.
@@PandyDaize what does that have to do with this comment?
Ok but Kayla using her platform to genuinely educate the community about pronouns and why this matters is such a queen move
i'm so proud to say she's been my fave yter since she started
Lmao
She’s a queen, periodtt 💅
@@Foxhound94 what's funny?
shes the queen we needed
the way Kayla is so educated on this topic makes me emotional, the PSA was so perfectly done and it’s amazing how she has no hesitation to use her platform to spread these topics
i so agree!! she worded everything so well
Tbh I hate when people use "educated" as a synonym for "agrees with my viewpoint". That being said, simsie's the best and I'm happy for this update :)
@@Erin-ho9hj I'm confused. Pronouns aren't a viewpoint its part of a language
@@melodyf2828 Okay so I'm bi, but I wouldn't say people who are against gay marriage are uneducated because they don't agree with my views. Obviously I'm not talking about syntax. Just a trend I'm noticing that I think divides people more, and makes it harder for opposite sides to have conversations about different viewpoints :)
@@Erin-ho9hj well actually they said "educated on this topic". No where did they imply that anyone who doesn't agree with trans rights is uneducated.
In swedish we have "hen" as an own word, same pronoun as "they".
"she" is "hon" and "he" is "han" so the they-pronoun "hen" is very similar to those two which makes it easy to learn and you do not to confuse "hen" with multiple people as you may do with "them"
Which makes it sad we didn't get it too
So Plumbella is really on point with her "Hey Hens" for y'all ❤️
I think you will soon... Let's hope the US is the beta trial run.
Oh cool, I'm learning Swedish but I didn't know this. What's the equivalent of honom/henne?
its similar in french with “iel” being “they” and it is only used as a gender neutral pronoun
Cisgender hetero basic suburban white mom, and I am SO excited that trans youth are getting this affirmation from a big company. Thank you for your thoughtful explanation of pronouns and their impact, I don’t have any personal relationships with anyone directly impacted so I don’t have a lot of opportunities to learn about the details of all of this first hand. Any opportunity for exposure is so appreciated, thank you for setting a beautiful example of how to be an ally.
This comment made me so happy... I wish there were more people like you. Lotsss and lots of love
Same here Amy!
OMG 😭 I love how understanding you are. You are the kind of person that will actually listen and try to understand people. There aren't a lot of people out there who want to listen and it's sad.
And some teenagers can’t consume the fact that people have preferences
Your our mom now
"if you still choose to be willfully ignorant, you are no longer welcome here" ok i dropped my cereal bc i was so excited to hear that. Kayla!! Thank you so much for being an awesome human and vocal advocate for LGBTQIA+ folks
Oh no your cereal! Was there much left? Did it make a mess? Is your floor ok?!?!
@@blueberryy4702 I was sitting on my bed so it could have gone sooo badly but I managed to save most of it, dont worry haha 😆
"Dislike" and "Unsubscribe" So easy. XD
That went too far for my taste. I'm ftm and I gave my family a full 6 years! to understand and become accepting and understanding of me. It's a process. Telling someone off like that will only make them spiteful and not wanting to check out the links to educate themselves at all.
I have to absolutely commend Kayla for anything else she said, though!
@@fynnh5459 she's saying it to people who already don't want to learn though. if they're choosing to not even *try* to learn i think its pretty understandable to say they're not welcome
you make a good point though!!
"No loser transphobes allowed"
Kayla you are using your platform for such an important matter and it is truly spectacular. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, thank you for being a safe space
Second that one mate
Kayla standing up to Transphobes just made my day so much better.
@@yuhhbiscuit same. I'm a bi cisgender but still it makes me so happy! :)
@@Nina-ho3qi same
Respect and solidarity are not a one-way street. Kayla insults people she doesn't know, before anyone even had time to complain about the update. To show the respect and to live solidarity yourself the way you expect others to do would be truly spectacular. Otherwise it's just a lived double standard resp. hypocrisy.
seriously i love this update, it's so important to bring these topics to video games! very proud of momo and the sims team for making it happen 🥰
It makes me so happy too, I’m so glad that I get to use They/Them/She pronouns on my sim Jax. I started crying when I heard about it.
It's really not though but I suppose it is still a game of make-believe weather it's irl or in the sims so there's that
@@yuhhbiscuit same! my legacy heir is non binary and I'm so happy the game will stop misgendering them now!😁
@@austinthesecuritygaurd7630 Check the video at 3:37 :)
@@austinthesecuritygaurd7630 what are you even doing here if you don't care about this update
LilSimsie has never failed to make me feel safe on her channel, as a trans boy who’s gone through so much hate for being who I am, Kayla never fails to remind me that I’ll always be included. Thank you Kayla, for creating such a safe community and helping RUclips become a more supportive platform
thanks for speaking up :)
😂😂😂
Not going to lie, I got a little emotional when you changed Blake’s pronouns to they/them!❤️
Same ❤️ I always loved how she used they/them pronouns for them and now it’s even more exciting
Me too. As a person who uses they/them, it always bothered me that the game misgendered Blake and I'm glad they can have their correct pronouns in game now!!!
@@trainchomp6184 such a huge gameplay change...
i’m smiling so big rn over it :)
kinda sad that it came out just after blake died lol
FINALLY THANK GOD!!! MY TRANS SIMS CAN STOP BEING MISGENDERED RANDOMLY, HERE'S TO HOPING IT WORKS WITH MODS AND SEAMLESSLY WITH WHATEVER APPEARS IN GAME :D
I can finally remake my self sim using the male body type with actual female pronouns instead of having to use the female body type
I MADE MY SIM GO BY THEY/SHE SO THE GAME WOULDN’T MISGENDER THEM IM SO EXCITED AND I LOVE SEEING OTHWR PEOPLE WXCIYED TOO
I can finally make my friend in TS4 without having the game constantly misgender them! :)
@@tankedwarthog6424 you could already do that tho
SCREAMING!!! AHHH GO CRAZY AHHH GO STUPID !!
As a trans person, Kayla’s intro to pronouns and the way she deals with educating cis ppl is 100% exactly how I wish everyone did it.
same!!!
Lmao
@@Foxhound94 weird
She does it the way all teachers should have to do it in school!
@@ibuprofriends lmao this dude is in every comment saying the same thing "lmao" don't give them the attention.
This seems like such a minor update but I didn't imagine how big the impact it has on people. As a cis person, I'm so happy for every nb simmers out there right now!
😂😂 you are out of your mind
It's nice to finally call my beloved sims by their pronouns not only in my head. As a nonbinary person, I'm really looking forward to using custom pronouns!
I’m also non-binary and I’m really excited to make a sim of myself without the game misgendering me!
Can you guys kinda explain what non-binary is? I’m a straight cis girl yet a lot of my friends are trans non-binary etc and I don’t really know/understand what non-binary is?
Edit: thanks for all the info, I’ll make sure to remember 😊
@@saintshrooms9424 non-binary means you are neither a man or a woman. identifying as a man or a woman would be called a binary gender. anything else is under the non-binary umbrella, aka genders that exist outside the binary. some genders under the umbrella include genderfluid, genderqueer, demiboy/girl, agender, genderflux, etc :) hope this helps!
@@saintshrooms9424 non binary is basically a spectrum of genders where someones not male or female exclusively. its the in between of the two binary genders, if that makes sense
@@saintshrooms9424 nonbinary means that you identify as something other than a boy or a girl
as a non-binary person from russia, i want to say that i cried through the whole video. i understand that this update may even never come to russia, but i’m so happy that at least i can play in english and feel valid💔
You are valid. Never ever forget that!
Lmao
sending you lots of love. i can’t image how hard it must be to be in your situation. you are valid friend ❤️
What is non binary exactly?
@@Esilasaram455 Non Binary is an umbrella term that refers to persons who don't identify solely as a man or woman.
I hope they will soon allow different body representations, such as missing limbs, wheelchairs, crossed eyes, blindness, deafness, and height extremes. I am so happy they did the pronoun update!
Yes this is also something I could get behind
Why?
@@iheartdelrey because people want to be represented?
I hadn't even thought about this, but that would be so awesome!!
Yes! I love my blind, prosthetic and ASD mods but I'd love them to be in the game by default
Even as a trans man i had no idea how much this update would affect me, but when i was able to put in my neopronouns and see them in game, i cried a little, its truly just such a wonderful feeling
same, honestly. like i was meh about it all but then i actually played with it and wow. it felt really good
edit: i was meh because im depressed and tired of this world 😅 not bc its not impactful
neopronouns are so dumb
Disgusting 🤢
Thank you for explaining pronouns so well, as someone who isn’t straight and uses She/They pronouns your explanation about the importance of pronouns and young people being able to experiment with their gender identity in a safe way was perfect. Thank you ❤️
BEST UPDATE OF THE YEAR. NO DISCUSSION
Yes
theres definitely been more major updates
said no one
It’s truly unbelievable I’m so happy rn, I use She/Her pronouns and I’m so glad that the sims updated the game with this.
DEFINITELY
as a trans simmer, this is magical. i have multiple nonbinary alligned sims and i would love to have their pronouns respected in game
Exciting stuff!
Lmao
One thing I noticed when trying this update…my sim has a masculine frame but goes by she/her and in the Sim Profile panel it still says that she is her sisters brother which is incorrect. Just something I thought I’d mention since they might need to fix that.
Hopefully we can advocate for one more drop down bar with options for masculine terms(brother, dad, uncle, etc), feminine terms(sister, mom, aunt, etc), or neutral terms(sibling, parent, auncle, etc)
as someone who uses all pronouns, i am so incredibly happy about this update, but the most surprising part were how many angry people under the sims’ tweet announcing it???? how are you just going to play the sims and be transphobic? it’s truly beyond me
If I understood the second to last phrase correctly, I think I can explain it within reason. It's that person's gameplay it won't effect anyone else's if they choose to be a transphobe you don't have to know about it. The game is for everyone to play whether you are apart of the lgbtqia+ community, or you are disabled, or even if you are a transphobe. The game was made for everyone to enjoy. Also just because a person may not except pronouns does not make them homophobic. Its a new concept that maybe they don't understand while they still support those in the community. My mum is bisexual and she herself does not understand the concept of pronouns, so it's irrelevant in this case to being homophobic.
@@lucierussell337 Since you don't seem to know, you aren't talking about homophobia. You are talking about transphobia. Homophobia is a hate, fear, or aversion of homosexuality, which is not what being trans is. Transgender is the term for anyone who does not feel like they fully identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. Transphobia is the fear, hate, or aversion against trans people.
The issue here is, if someone has an aversion to neopronoun or using gender neutral pronouns, that is an aversion meaning phobia. It is an aspect of being trans that one refuses to understand or accept. Either one understands it, accepts it, or is phobic of it. We have heard these statements of empty allyship before. "I 'accept' you, but I'm not going to do the thing (that makes you feel safe in your skin) because it's (insert shitty excuse)."
It's another thing if you are trying, and make a slip up ever so often, but then immediately rectify it when you notice, that's okay. It's just like slipping up and calling someone the wrong name, but you apologized and keep moving on, trying to do it less often. Eventually it will become habit and easy to do. There is no excuse to refuse respecting other people.
As a non LGBTQ+ member i physically can’t understand the joy some people will have with this but i truly respect that they did this and it’s a huge thing, as a male playing the sims it can sometimes suck cause you get said things like “ur gay “ or “why are you playing a girls game?” Which really sucks cause it’s not a girls name it’s a game for everyone to enjoy
I just thought it more options in my case. More options never hurt nobody. The only issue I have is when people keep getting mad when I used the "wrong pronoun". They act like I just murder somebody. Make me wanna be diabolical and hurt their feeling.
@@DaiMie most people won’t have a problem if you correct yourself, apologise and just move on
If they act really dramatic about it, they probably had to use the wrong pronouns for quite a while
@@DaiMie if someone is actually draging about it, it must mean that you are not first to misgender them and they get it often, really annoying when that happens, just apologize again and don't do it again. i hope you understand this, a lot of people are misgendered or use pronouns that they feel uncomfortable with, cause of the transphobes, but if someone is actually dramatic for attention, move on them, find someone new to talk. i recommend to meet with someone new, most of us don't really drag it, even with experience of transphobic ppl in our life, but some are making a drama just to make u seem bad, that's kinda of common sense but hope i helped :)
@@DaiMie the majority of us try to be patient with people as long as they are trying. My mum often uses the wrong pronouns or name, but I don't usually get angry because I know she's trying. As another person said, the anger is usually out of frustration when it's been frequent and/or purposeful by others.
Also try to keep in mind, a lot of us have been told that our identities are invalid and we can often get immediately defensive as an impulse, even if we know we're in a safe place with a safe person.
@@JustJoe10 Nah. That just make me wanna be more devious.
While listening to your explanation about pronouns, I re-realized that my first language has no gender pronouns. We use "O" for everyone and it's amazing, I'm so proud of it.
Turkish? :)
@@jessicahanden yes :)
I also realised that. The discussion surrounding pronouns isn’t possible in every single language
Turkish?
@@HelenaHaakonsson yes!
My favorite part of this game update is that in the custom pronouns screen, all the sentences that use them are about grilled cheese. Very Sims 4. 😂
hearing you explain pronouns to your audience means so much to me. as someone who uses they/them myself, i feel so seen in your community. thank you simsie!
Glad to see another Unus Annus loving they/them in the comments
right!! I straight up cried during that part
the fact that Kayla is so open about her feelings on pronouns and is willing to educate people and allow herself to kind of get discrimination out of her comments and away from her content is absolutely inspiring, we need more people like her ❤️✨️
I actually cried when you finally got to change Blake's pronouns. This is SO huge for the sims! I am cis, so I will never feel what it's like to not have pronouns that have fit you since birth, but some of my dearest friends and family members have transitioned to using different pronouns, so I could not be more excited about this update. 🥰
I’ve always lowkey wanted to try she/they or they/them pronouns but I’ve never felt comfortable doing it irl. I think this update will be really great for me :)
im a she/they and really like it, i dont really mind what pronouns people give me which is always funny when people try to misgender or mispronoun me because anything goes lol (im afab)
😂😂😂
Try it if you want! You can always change your mind 💕
@@Kytti-not-kitty when people try misgender me they always call me ‘she’ and say ‘ur a girl, stop tryna change ur gender’

This update came out just in time for pride month!!! Happy pride to my fellow simmers!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Happy pride month to you too!🏳️🌈
Pathetic, no wonder society is declining.
I’m so happy for you!
It is truly upsetting when people misgender someone, so if you’re like that, no one would want you here.
I would also like to say thank you to Momo for the petition, and the sims team for pronouns in this game.
It absolutely WARMS MY HEART that you educated yourself about preferred pronouns and the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you so much, more people should be like you
More people should be idiots ?? Is that what you are saying?
@@note8proxiomi664 clearly
god, Kayla, as a trans guy i really appreciate how you talk about pronouns and general trans things on your channel in such a casual/kind and informative manner, and how you calmly and genuinely break things down for people to understand it. it makes it feel like not that big of a deal to just respect people and their identities/preferences
this update means so much as a trans person, so thankful for momo!
same here :)
Even though I’m someone who identifies as a straight/female presenting person, this made me shed happy tears and so very happy for those who can now be represented. ♥️
interesting. my language (portuguese) doesn't have neutral pronouns for every category (for exemple, we have isso and aquilo for demonstratives, but it sounds like objetification, like the pronoun it in english). i wonder what they'll do since it still is a very discussed topic. when people have good knowledge of the topic, they use "ile" or "elu". the hard part is that every noun in portuguese is gendered and marked (exemple: ela é bonita - she is pretty / ele é bonito - he is pretty / one neutral debated option: elu/ile é bonite - they are pretty / they could change the other to turn into more neutral requiring only the pronoun: elu/ile é uma pessoa bonita - they are a pretty person - since pretty has to match person which is feminine by default for men/women/others - there's the additional work of having to know how to use the grammar and sintax to neutralize the gender - making it agree with another thing, that has a fixed gender, instead of the person in question), very few exceptions. i think for most latin languages the best solution will be "he/she/custom"
only one word can describe this update : "FINALLY"
And Thank you 🥲
😂
lowkey paused this video and told my mom i go by they/them pronouns now. sudden burst of confidence??
EDIT: so many nice comments! it went okay, i also told her i didnt care if she or our family didnt use the right ones and that it wouldnt bother me. then she told me not to get on a high horse about it which 🙄 ok. thanks for not making fun of me at least.
i'm so happy for you :D
YAYYY
Proud of you, hope things are going well.
Well done!!!! I hope it went well
ahh congratulations!! even if she kinda brushed you off, i hope you're proud of yourself for gaining that courage. we're all proud for sure
I absolutely love how educational and respectful you are talking about pronouns this makes me so happy
@@BusyBusyPanda What she basically said was that if even after her explanations and her attemps to educate, people still decide (keyword) not to listen and remain disrespectful , then they are the ones that are hated. Not because they dont understand, but because they choose to not even try.
@@BusyBusyPanda She literally preceded that statement with “if you are intentionally transphobic” She is not talking about everyone who’s new to understanding pronouns when she talked about who Simmers hate

Not only is this great because of tq+ inclusivity. It can even help young simmers learn grammar. Nice.
Lmaoo I wheezed

i wish that were the case, but a lot of the game with the updated pronouns still has incorrect grammar

As a genderfluid non-binary person (they/them/she/her) I’m so happy that I can make myself in the sims!!!
And also, I love how you are educating people on pronouns, and being respectful about it!
As someone who’s recently come to terms with my ongoing gender crisis and finally, finally swapped to They/Them pronouns… I’M SO EXCITED
💛🤍💜🖤
wooooo!!!
Congratulations cutieee!! Love youuu
Congratulations! That's so good to hear. 🧡
congrats on trending ! im really really glad this update exists, it makes my trans heart happy :)) my only issue is that it doesnt appear to have an option for multiple pronouns at once, such as she/they or he/she ? there might not be a way to code this ingame, but it would be nice to see. again, still suuuper happy the update is finally out !! this is a huge day for simmers :)))
I've been using custom pronouns for that and unfortunately having to pick and choose a pronoun for each one, but hopefully they'll add options for that in another update or "add another pronoun set" in custom pronouns.
Probably because pop up’s have to be reworded
I always knew Kayla was the sweetest but hearing her talk about pronouns, including neo pronouns really makes me happy idk its the bare minimum but its nice to see :') I've never really seen another youtuber i like talk about neo pronouns
you should totally name one of your legacy sims Tay Bell (table) and they can build furniture or something :D
HAH
i love this
an absolutely beautiful idea
As someone who has used they/them for a while here in the deep south, it feels so validating for my favorite game to acknowledge my preferences, even when nobody IRL does. I'm so thankful for this update.
I'm sorry that no one shows you the basic respect you deserve but I'm so glad you can be represented properly!
Hey, screw everyone else. Here on Kayla’s channel you are loved and wanted and accepted!!!
I'm from the Deep South and use they/them, too (and also he/him) 😊 It sucks that our culture / society doesn't accept us (yet). I know it's kinda cheesy to say, but just know that you're not alone ❤️ I sincerely hope things get better for you! Maybe one day we'll be able to not only survive but THRIVE down here
as someone who is transmasc i’m quite literally sobbing over this update. im so so so excited to feel safe while playing this game :)
"It's really easy to just call someone what they want to be called..."
*PREACH* ✨
As someone who's non binary and uses they/he pronouns, I'm so fricking happy about this, and this literally means so much to mee 😭
Heyo, fellow they/he person here 👋 It'd be awesome if one day we could have multiple pronouns! That'll probably be a long ways away tho, if it ever happens. Maybe after it's released in other languages first 🤞
I love the boundaries you’re setting! If you’re being hateful after today you’re not welcome here!!! Love it Kayla!
I just want my cars and other functioning vehicles. Thank you...
Fingers crossed we get them in TS5
I live in Finland and we have a personal pronoun "hän" who is not identified for either sex. So we have always had a gender-neutral pronoun.
That's good! I wish more languages were like that. A lot that do were added by speakers of that language because they didn't have one at first and it makes me so sad
It's the same for Swedish (hen).
Same for Turkish! (O)
For someone still questioning their gender, this update is so exciting for me and all my trans friends in the community. :) Also I love seeing Kayak being an ally.
I love this especially by being a trans man. It was so hard making my sim self and reading “she/her” when my sim looks like a boy
I love this. Now more than ever, with school boards attacking LGBTQ identity, young people need a safe space. P.S. Kayla is an absolute queen.
They're not attacking anyone. They only want to protect children from 1st to 3rd grade.
@@明智吾郎-e4bThat's literally just false. They're not protecting kids from anything, they're just priming them for @buse.
@@明智吾郎-e4b It isn't just kids grade 1-3. its literally high schoolers too.
High Schools in Ohio are going to start looking at kids genitalia if there's even so much as a QUESTION of if they're trans. Same with Middle Schoolers. It isn't about protecting anyone. It's harassment.
@@hayday2917 Do you play Hay Day? 😃
Kayla, your speech mid-video is so heartfelt and meaningful. We appreciate you and all the other simmers for creating a safe space for so many of us.
i cant stand people who say “i dont use pronouns” and get offended when you ask their pronouns. everyone has pronouns, unless they chose not to
Well people who speak languages that are gender neutral and only have one pronoun for all genders, could say they don't really have one unless they speak in other language that has them, like I personally don't like English pronouns because they are not gender neutral and they often confuse me, like I mix up she and he, because to me they are same word in my lanugage.. But for those who do have gendered pronouns in their language I do agree with you.
@@iheartdelrey it is. pronouns are not inherent
Even people who actually don't have third-person pronouns don't "not have pronouns" because they still refer to themselves using I/me and others still directly address them using you/you
@@cerineko7984 If you're a woman your pronouns are she/her, if you're a man your pronouns are he/him.
@@iheartdelrey just leave the channel or not comment hateful things. there’s no reason to spread hate!
Да, интересно, что будет с русским языком, особенно после свадебных историй, учитывая, что русский намного сложнее английского, когда дело касается местоимений и прилагательных (они тоже имеют "гендер")
Скорее всего добавлять он/она/они и всё
Если честно, то да. Вероятно, могут добавить "оно", но это на самый крайний-крайний случай.
да :'((( но с другой стороны, кастомайзинг для этого и есть!! другое дело, что у нас ничего кроме этих местоимений+"оно" и не придумаешь особо :/
пысы: мне так приятно, что я не одна смотрю симси в россии!! привет!! х)))
@@1r3n3 Осталось только надеяться, что обнову подвезут и в русском, а пока что, живём и молимся..
Пс: В первые раз вижу русских смотрящих симси, так что привет :D Очень рад, что не один такой.
That's kinda an issue for most slavic languages (and I believe also Japanese) - Polish being actually the hardest to do. However what they will need to do is just implement whole language into the game and automatically applicate it to specific words and rewrite all the texts. So they can just write main part of the word + then add the adapted ending/suffix of the word that can be customised.
It will give us way more boxes to fill when customising the pronouns, but it should be possible.
And like with English most of us will get "he", "she" and maybe "them/it" and leave the rest to the users.
When it comes to the pronouns themselves - there are some new ways linguist try to find gender-inclusive ways of speaking. They do sound very unnatural obviously, but we will see in the future. I think some people use adapted versions for "it" and "them" when the classic pronouns don't work for them.
For example in Polish "I did" would change between pronouns:
- male - zrobiłem
- female - zrobiłam
- plural male - zrobiliśmy
- plural non-male - zrobiłyśmy
So as you can see you could just have "zrobi" and then just add specific suffix.
The issue in Polish is that there is no non-binary "I", you can talk about "it" as someone else (like a child or chair). But there is no traditional way of speaking about yourself. So in this case person would have to either make custom suffix or use one of the other (for some linguists and people "zrobiłom" would work for example).
Good about it is that most text in Sims 4 are written in third person. So like "Kayla Sims invited you to the party" or for our Sims: "Your Sim Kayla found a frog, they also found mysterious box". And those pronouns are actually way easier to customise.
Also I demonstrated a way to actually avoid any pronouns in the game as well - by using "Sim Kayla" - you actually can just use male version of the verbs, because the word "Sim" like "Human" is male - gendered at least in Polish.
My nonbinary self is living for this!!! And I love how outspoken Kayla is about this!!
💛💜🖤
You forgot the colour in our flag- just saying! =)
In german we have they/them pronouns, so it would be no problem to add them to the sims. There are called dey/deren ... kind of copied, cause they and dey sound the same to germans. Sadly in germany most of the people dont know or even ignore those pronouns. So I'm using they/she and in english this works fine, but in germany im just a she/her. This upsets me. I hope that in the future more people know about and respect dey/deren.
wait what??? I had no idea german had gender neutral pronouns, I've been learning for a few years and had never heard of them! thanks for commenting about them! Now I don't have to be misgendered when I'm speaking in german!!!
That is really interesting! I also didn’t know about these pronouns in German.
@@numerousbees1441 They’re neo-pronouns, they’re not official, that’s probably why you have never heard of them.
I hate to be that ass, but I think this might be a just regional thing, or "just" neo-pronouns. Deren is a thing and can be translated to theirs. (meaning the house is theirs). But Dey never made it in the official dictionaries. Hopefully it will be picked up by more speakers, especially since deren is a known but in comparison less used pronoun. But thank you for sharing this. I was unaware of the usage of dey. I'll see if I can find some studies for it's usage.
@@kisakisakura6663 Out of curiosity, have you heard of the usage of sier/seir/siem/sien (male & female combined) pronouns?
i'm an autistic gay trans man and i'm so extremely happy to finally FINALLY have this. thank you so so much for using your platform to spread love, thank you so much for being a vocal ally and standing up so firmly for us.
As a programmer I can see how this could be a pain to set up, checking each message and then updating the preferred pronoun. That being said, it is then also easier to update the preferred pronoun with a custom one, since you already have 'found' the pronoun in that sentence and only need to replace that. Still a very important and big update tho :)
I can imagine 😂 I work as a Product Owner
I'm crying. I. am. crying. I am Non-binary!! this means everything to me!!!
😂😂😂
Westerners are crying about pronouns in a children's game, no wonder Western Society is dying kek
I am seriously so excited! As a proud she/they in the LGBTQIA+ community, this means the world to me. The Sims has been being very inclusive lately and I love this so much
it means so much, honestly. and it's right before pride so everyone can be themselves while they celebrate
Im so happy to see blake get their proper pronouns!!
I could listen to a 4 hour livestream of Simsie talking about pronouns lol, it’s really calming for some reason
I did start crying when I could fix my sims pronouns, I can't even put into words the joy I felt when for once I could have neopronouns used without being called dumb or something
Oh I am sorry people say that to you. I hope the Sims is a safe place for you.
Sitting here crying as well
Also what are your pronouns? :)
That article in the description was really helpful I really didn’t know about pronouns. Thank you!
I’m so happy this is out and I feel like this could maybe even help people who are trying to figure out their pronouns in a safe place without having to worry about anything
PETS GET PRONOUNS TOO ❤❤❤❤❤
People are calling her a hypocrite for making a safe place on her channel smh
I'm so glad you talked about this tho!!
I personally won't use this update, I tend to stick to "default" pronouns . I am happy for the people who will benefit from this though.
This is me as well. The more customization the better. Rather have it and not use it than not have it for people who need it
I respect this
people were so mean in the comment section of thesims’s instagram post :(
Instagram is like that, 12 year olds looking for solace in hate
Kayla, not wanting to use neopronouns is not transphobic. It's actually the opposite, neopronouns are transphobic.
Bro what? Neopronouns are typically used in the autistic community because we have a much harder time understanding gender so we use it as our way to describe our gender. Disrespectfully stfu
This is misinformation
@@trappedcosmos nope. Do some research :)
@@Paige-bj3ho I think you need to do research
@@trappedcosmos I've done my research. I can only encourage you to learn, but if you choose to be ignorant that's not my fault.
*Hey besties it's time to get a little emotional because the simmer you watched since you where a kid and while you where figuring out your identity is continuously being a wonderful and respectful person*
I’M NOT HOME AND THEY RELEASE THIS!? I’m am currently about three hours away from my house and I didn’t bring my laptop because I didn’t think I would need it. And I just happened to look at RUclips to see THIS!! You have got to be kidding me 😭😂
I cannot begin to express how happy this makes me as a trans person 😭
Pronouns are so pointless in the game. I'm just glad they are an option and I dont have to label every Sim.
Petition for lilsimse to put a no loser transphobs poster in the background of her videos lol
signing this right away
This update adds so much more diversity needed, and as a cis she/her individual, I'm on the verge of tears because I'm so happy for every other simmer who needed this representation :)
I'm from Germany so sadly I cannot add pronouns to my game yet but I'm so freaking happy right now^^. It's really an amazing update
hi i’m learning german and was wondering what gender neutral pronouns are in german. do i use sie? i want to make sure i respect everyone
@@lucywing8490 unfortunately there aren't really any genderneutral pronouns in german. Xie/xir and dey/deynen seem to be gaining more popularity, but there's no "default" option like in english. I know a lot of people who simply use no pronouns. (Trying to figure out how to talk about them is always funny😂)
@@lucywing8490 Sadly, that's exactly the problem. We don't have any gender neutral pronouns. There's "es" which you probably already heard of but it's not usuable for human beings because it's only meant for objects. I think that's one of the main reasons why we don't have the update yet :(
@@jasminm.3481 We have very similar problem in Polish language...
@@moonchild8903 The same case with Polish. We have "to/ono" (it), but it works with plants, animals, objects or children (we have "to dziecko" = this/it child)
me going into the comment section to try and find transphobes:
me when I find a transphobe: 👹👹
Literally same, I think we hate ourselves 😂😭
this is my friend lilsimsie shes an ally talk lilsimsie
HAHAHA funniest comment 😭
i don’t get how they added pronouns but you’re still not able to set a “preferred sexuality” like ???
True! I’m so happy they added pronouns but I really hope sexuality is another thing they’re working on🙂❤️
Anyone upset by this is unbelievably goofy. If you don't want your sims using 'fancy' pronouns, you simply don't have to touch the pronouns option. Easy!
In a series where personalization of your Sims is the main highlight, I'm really glad to see this finally enter the game! They've really done a lot for unique gender representation with these LGBT updates.
I actually kinda hope it'll apply to randomly generated townies and birthed Sims as well. The other customization options never do. I don't make a lot of trans and enby Sims, but that doesn't mean I don't want them around town.
I like my video games with a little less Wokery.
Exactly. So do I.
It's literally a life simulator of course they're trying to make it as relatable as possible to people
This is very awesome and inclusive but also I now have an overwhelming urge to create a joke sim with dumb/dumbass pronouns because I think "dumbass got promoted!" Would be hilarious
lilsimsie out here educating the masses.
I love how all the example sentances are all about grilled cheese
Now I can finally have brilliant and handsome as my pronouns.
