One of my favourite memes is: "Are you a boy or a girl? - I'm a threat" Another one is: "To my transphobic mother, I'm not a girl but I sure am one son-of-a-bitch!"
when you said "My dad still sometimes calls me his daughter" bro you pass so well that actually threw me through a loop and I had to process that information LOL
The reason I use bi lable instead of pan lable is that I can call myself bi-biologist. That’s it. There is also the benefit of more people know what it means.
I prefer the pan flag's colors. That's it. I guess it also has something to do with the mindset for me? I realized it was less "I like all of these genders" and instead "gender is not a factor for me, there is just people I like and people I don't like"
I use bi as a general way to describe my sexuality, like I’m under the bi umbrella. I like all genders, but more specifically, I consider myself omnisexual rather than pan because my personal understanding of pan is that attraction is possible regardless of gender, while with omnisexual I’m attracted to all genders but the gender plays a role in my attraction and I experience these attractions a little differently. Part of the reason why has to do with my own trans nonbinary identity and how I perceive myself in relationships with different genders. Basically, for me all attraction or relationships are gay, not in a funny way but in a genuine and meaningful way ya know?
I saw a post saying something like "When you transition you will likely not look like a skinny anime girl but you will probably look like someone's mom and you need to realize how swag that is" I dunno how true that statement is but it sounds really funny
Fun fact about that bathroom signs post. Fish was a term in the polari language that meant "to pass as a woman" and was frequently used to describe a drag queen's looks.
The fact that I love wearing skirts but don't know how to behave in them makes me endlessly appreciative of skorts. The other day I saw a cute skirt in a store, walked in to have a closer look, realized they were actually shorts and immediately bought them
9:40 when my neighbor's daughter got divorced she told her two kids that they could change their names if they wanted, then got mad when they each picked a metal for their new first names (they were kind of young at the time I think). the implication I picked up was that they were supposed to pick between their mom and dad's last names instead, but that the mom didn't explain what she meant by "you can change your name".

Icelandic uses gendered patronymics as surnames (which would translate to "X's-son" or "X's-daughter"). This is legally enforced. That legislation was expanded in 2019 so that NB folks can instead use an option that translates to "X's-child".

@@queerbee. i thought bi = binary (as in the two binary genders) and since non-binary meant neither man nor woman, i thought bi people wouldn't be attracted to non-binary people.

That last one about coming out is how I've been doing it. I only told my partner at the time, family, and two friends. I didn't tell anyone at work, just started presenting more queer each month. Last month I had a big grant renewal meeting and went 100% trans-mode and no one dared ask. A few days later, one colleague worked up the nerve to ask and I told him. I think my boss has figured a few things out as she's had a trans student before, but she still hasn't really asked about it.
A lot of people think they misgender me, but they don’t. I go to my mom’s workplace a lot, and she introduces me as my deadname. Before she introduces me most people (correctly) assume I am her son. Right after she deadnames me, I always get apologized to. The most frequent comment is “sorry, I was only looking at the hair.” It’s quite frustrating. Idk why I wrote that this video reminds me of it tho.
I've heard alot of my bi friends say it's more like being attracted to masculine and feminine people, regardless of "s3x assigned at birth" like fembois, and tomgirls. Or yah know dudes.
25:22 I read some funny ways to come out lists (they're hilarious, you should read some) and one of my favorites was "Order an Edible Arrangement for yourself. (These are queer by nature, everyone should get it.)"
The only form of policing I'm okay with, is keeping out the fake moles and similar from the community. Most are super obvious, like ai art level obvious. Yet, some still manage to get tricked by them.
I went to Berkeley for my first year of college (1990-91). The dorm floor I lived on had a single bathroom with multiple sinks, toilet stalls, and shower stalls. Oh, and the floor was co-ed and everyone used the same bathroom. It was really not that big a deal😮
Damn, I couldn't do a funny coming out cause I spent my entire discovery phase needing help from friends and mum to work out what the hell was going on.
Y'know, as my first time here, I see you talking about how you get misgendered, it took me a minute to figure out that you're Not AMAB I wonder if any of those people assumed you were a trans woman and were trying to be gender affirming
17:09 for some time I referred to myself as non-binary, until I realized that my issue was gender roles, allowing my egg to crack fully as a trans woman. And yeah, spanish is too gendered. There is actually a push for a new linguistic gender for non-binary people, but people who don't understand language evolution refuse to accept it. It's disappointing, really. But yeah, most enbies prefer to be referred to with an e, or alternating between masc and femme terms in spanish. For example, instead of "no binario/no binaria", it would be "no binarie" because that's an actual form for the language in quite a few instances.
I'm Brazilian and non binary, and unfortunately have that problem too. I don't like "neutral" language that much for myself, it's a lack of actually using it often and I really try to use it whenever I can, so I kinda prefer when people who accept me flip flops between he/him/she/her, but I'll never refuse using neutral "e" for someone else
17:15 There is two gender neutral suffixes for this kinda thing actually The uh, awkward one that was probably not made by latine people is -x, which always just feels really awkward By there was ine made by Spanish speaking people, -e! Which already exists in some places in the language, is easier to say, and is made by people who use the language
For the spanish one, I am gonna say, to each their own way of expressing themselves, I just accept both ones since language gender != speaker gender, is just silly, the water is both female or male depending on what sounds better, so like the water, just let yourself flow =3
FALSE! I got called "ma'am" in a walmart with a full beard as an AMAB person. I still don't understand it, but thank you random old man for making me realize I was not attached to male labels!
I took Spanish my sophomore year (grade 10), gendered languages like Spanish when there’s multiple people or you need to refer to someone without gendering them, you use the masculine version. “No binaria” is grammatically incorrect.
i work at a little shop and ive been thinking about how to come out as enby there, the place has very chill vibes, theres not that many co-workers and im pretty sure about at least my boss being an ally. i think its less of they'll be full on transphobic and more of they'll be confused about it. the only problem is i know my mum is a bit transphobic because i tried to come out to her a few years back as demigirl and she just said "that (diffrence between gender and biological sex) dosent exist to me" which sucks because she picks me up to and from work. if anyones got any ideas that would be great. also i just subscribed because this video was very chill and you seem very chill and cool :)
If your coworkers are chill you can maybe just explain to them that your mom doesn’t know yet so they’ll hopefully not tell her anything in passing. Maybe bring up a “trans friend” (you can make one up if you don’t have one) to gauge how they react to it if you wanna test the waters first
I'm changing my name to 🔳🔳🔳 and adding a zombie fish with only 30% of its body mass left in all my signatures as part of the name, because I feel like bites have been taken out of me by every other fish I've met and only my heart wants its body to keep swimming, and only my heart beleives it deserves as much. And hoping that the identity change will cease what equations and laws that govern others treatment of me. I doubt it will. I need to shed my old identity no matter what though.
Question im really stupid about everything lgbtq+ stuff and I want be a better ally so where could I find ways to learn more about the community so I could be slightly less stupid.
Honestly I think browsing through reddit communities or watching videos by queer people where they talk about their experiences is maybe a good place to start off. And tbh you don’t need to know or understand everything to be an ally :)
Tbh, it feels a bit harmful to imply trans people figure themselves out really early, or don't have options. Sure, a good few do, but that statement feels like it sort of invalidates people who get hit by it later, like during puberty, or later, like when I found out what the word trans even meant in my early 20s.
