They only care about children until they’re born and then they don’t care until they’re old enough to die in pointless wars. Every argument the right makes is disingenuous
T H I S Right-wing bastards really hate anything that debunks their narrative, especially reality because real life always disproves and debunks their bullshit arguments easily because right-wingers have no sense of reality at all.
That ad was so insulting on so many levels. The part that hit me hardest was their belief that LGBTQ+ families aren't fit to raise children. My 2 daughters have gay male parents, one of whom is trans. I haven't noticed our gay-ness or my trans-ness affecting their development. They seem fine.
Ikr? A lot of it seems to be Christianity, too, which... I’m not Christian, but isn’t part of the Bible saying to love EVERYONE? Not only that, but I’m pretty sure Jesus said that loving everyone was EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT as loving God. Idk, feel free to correct me.
Those religious fanatics propably have never actually read the Bible. Just cherrypicking bits out of it, or more likely somebody else in their congregation is telling what to believe. You see a lot of that in atheist youtube channels comment sections. So much hate and bigotry which often sprouts from fears fed by their religious groups.
As a Christian myself, I find it heartbreaking and angering when people who claim to be Christians use the bible to spread hate and fear when that is the exact opposite of what we where called to do! "Love your neighbor as yourself just as God has loved you"
“Should church adoption centers be shut down for believing that the best environment for a child is with a mother and a father?” YES. Because if you’re allowing your personal beliefs to control what future a child has, and denying them a chance to be in a safe home because there’s two moms or two dads, then you should lose your ability to work with those children. Period.
Indeed. Meanwhile, here in Mexico, I have heard priests reminding people that, yes, if a child can get the love and support of a family, it does not matter if it's two men or two women. Just let them grow up with a family; they probably went through a lot to end up in the adoption system. This is just personal experience here in my little slice of Mexico, with Catholic priests. I have absolutely no idea of how things are in the rest of the country.
@@theunknowncommenter725 yes. a family is not mother and father. some people are raised by their grandparents. or their siblings. some people are adopted. and some people have two same sex parents. end of discussion.
As a former child who has been raised by a man and a woman who hated each other I am here to say that my childhood would have been so much better and I would've been an adult with many less problems had my parents been two adults who loved each other and me regardless of gender or anything else... Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
Yup. My parents didn't believe in divorce because they wanted their kids to "have a stable home" I'd argue that watching your parents scream at each other and make each other cry on a near daily basis was significantly less stable than being raised by a single parent who wasn't miserable but I digress.
@@airplanes_aren.t_real Ehhhh, I mean, Biden is just as bad as Trump. Look at both of their histories - they're both racist as fuck. The only reason he gets called out more is cuz YT people are hypocritical
@@FlowerTower I think the primary difference between Biden and Trump is that Biden, by and large, at least seems to learn from his past mistakes and changes his views with time. Trump is under the impression that he CAN’T make mistakes. Biden isn’t perfect by any means, but at least he’s relatively humble and seems to actually care, which is a breath of fresh air. Wasn’t my first choice and I’ll never be able to support him 100%, but I at least feel comfortable knowing he’s able to listen to people and work with them.

No, it’s not sexist lol. Men are just designed to be stronger and more athletic than women in general. Biologically male athletes competing against biologically female athletes is going to result in the men winning the majority of the time. It is not sexist, it is a factual reality that has been seen countless times
And that "a small minority of people getting fairer treatment and protection puts the vast majority of us in danger, because I decided that they're all evil. Also, everybody getting equal rights means that we're less privileged and thus oppressed".
🎶Freedom to oppress, in the name of righteousness. Religious freedom to scratch our own itches, religious freedom to burn our own witches! - Roy Zimmerman
Indeed, and oppression which is part of the very fabric of some religions in that it is taken as axiomatic that we should consider something as evil if the holy book says so. A holy book whose text was codified many centuries ago.
I'm like 90% sure that I'm trans ftm. I'm not out to my family. I've started going by Auggie or Augustus. My mother wanted to show me an image. That's it just an image about a trans woman who won a competition against two cis women. She asked if I thought it was okay and I said yes. It went on for a while but I said "Even *IF* trans women did have an unfair advantage against cis women, they are women, so therefore still adding to women's success and showing trans representation at the same time. And that should be a good thing. " She said that well have to agree to disagree and she said " I understand but find it disgusting that you dont think this is wrong" I'm scared. I couldn't even get her to talk about trans men. I dont know how she'll react when I tell her or if she'll even love me anymore. I hate my stepdad as he is strongly a right Republican who is transphobic and homophobic. My dad is a little transphobic but not as bad as my mom and stepdad. Not to mention my grandma and grandpa. Right now the 8 people in my family that I feel like I can trust is narrowed down to one. Shout out to my sister lauren. Anyways that's just a vent. I know most people won't read this but thank you Jaime for bringing attention to this issue. I'm saving this video for when my mother tries to make this argument again.
Sire Augustus, just don't. They don't need to know. Just try to talk to them as little as possible and only "agree" with them. You will not change their minds. Sorry to say this dude.
Hi, it's been a while since you posted but I hope you're doing well. Augustus is a great name and I hope you are able to find a supportive environment. Hang in there!
So you admit that biological men who believe they are women have an advantage over biological women in sport, and that you simply just don't care, but believe that it's a "good thing"...? Disgusting. No wonder your parents think you're a weirdo.
So lately my cis mom started going to work in a mask that literally says "I'm a woman", just because she's unhappy with being constantly misgendered. So imagine her surprise when some random man yelled "You'll never be a woman!". Ouch. I had to sit her down and explain what happened and almost cried when she asked "How do you do it??". Welcome to Poland btw, sorry if my English sucks.
Thank you, guys, I'm quite okay unlike many people I know. What's happening in my country's a total mess. The government's best ability's finding its non existants threats, and their supporters- Well. I'm quite interested in what they say abroad about our situation, because it feels like the rest of Europe just lets it slide. (My mom continues to wear the mask, now for an entirely different reason. Thanks mom.)
“So-called equality act” I saw a newspaper article from 1964 in history class with the headline “So-called rights act” History really does repeat itself, huh?
Is it really sexist though? Or is it just a fact based opinion that defers from yours? A 6ft man against a 5’4 women is going to win. Especially if they have the same training and ability. That is just the biological way
@@Dukdukgoose23 My cousin, biologically female, is 6'3 and is pure muscle, would kick a 6ft man's ass any day (and has before btw, as she does boxing and played sports in college). Should we discreminate against her because she's different than most other female's strength? Should she be put in the men's category? Or what about my friend emily who has a syndrome where she has increased testosterone which also makes her different?
Also, many Americans have absolutely no idea that "free speech" means that they are free to criticize the government NOT that they are free to say whatever TF they wish. This is why we have slander and libel laws, this is why a person may be legally fired from their work for popping off whatever pops into their brains & out their mouths. For a less opaque explanation: "Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction." "Freedom of speech and expression, therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury. Justifications for such include the harm principle, proposed by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty, which suggests that "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."" Sorry this was so long but I wanted to be as clear as possible and I am not a lawyer.
@@Kymberlee_W that is a great quote for explaining it, thank you for making me aware of it, typically i just use the fire in a crowded theatre to explain but really this does a far better job explaining the intricacy of the topic.
Exactly. All "freedom of speech" means is that the GOVERNMENT cannot punish you for saying something. It has nothing to do with if the people around you agree or tell you to stop.
They are basically saying "you can't take away my right to hate you and take your rights away". I can't believe these people don't see the irony in their rhetoric.
*As a ciswoman who competed in sports for college scholarships* : Finishing first place doesn't guarantee you getting a scholarship, and finishing second place doesn't mean you'll never get a scholarship. Even being on Varsity vs JV doesn't affect it that much. You have to send multiple colleges a highlight reel of your best moments, go to that school's tryouts, and create almost a resume of your academic and extracurricular achievements. Someone being better than you doesn't mean you'll never get a scholarship, and even if you don't get that exact scholarship to that exact school your competitor did- there are SO many other great schools. I could argue that a woman who's 6'0 her freshman year had an unfair advantage over me, who didn't hit 5'0 until I turned 18. But I trained harder, and worked my ass off to be as good as I could be. And guess what? Still got scholarships. And on the locker room argument - Make gender neutral spaces. A lot of people are too shy to change in front of anyone, and I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable when they were getting undressed around an openly bi girl. Make a separate space to accommodate those who are uncomfortable, and maybe promote healthy communication skills to awkward teenagers who just want to feel accepted, loved, and included by their peers??
I know right! In every single video against trans women in sports, they make women out to be completely inferior to men, which I think is utterly insulting. Maybe in some sports there would be a more noticeable difference between sexes, but they act like cis women are incapable of beating a cis man.
@@mintytheshade3754 but simultaneously, even though the Bible says that "a woman should not speak over a man," women's rights are fine, but LGBTQ+ rights are out of the question. I would like them to be consistent with their discrimination please and thank you.
Right? They're transphobic, homophobic, AND sexist. I'm a trans man, and I played 2 seasons of little league baseball as a kid. I was the only AFAB on the team, and I had no trouble keeping up. And no one on the team cared that they had to play with a "girl." We were just kids having fun.
the whole religious schools part of this video really just felt like they were saying "we can't indoctrinate our students and force them to conform to our beliefs anymore and we're kinda pissy about that"
Exactly! "Churches are going to go extinct because they can't be openly bigoted anymore!" Weeellll, guess your religion wasn't that solid a philosophy after all then, was it?
Yeah conservative Christians are in panic mode because it's getting increasingly more difficult for them to force their bigoted nonsense on their kids. God bless the internet and supportive peoples. ♥
I went to a religious school and when they mentioned religious schools might be shut down I got mad and thought "fucking good that shit is awful" it's like all the bad parts of public school got amplified because they didn't have to follow the rules and you couldn't take it any higher up if a teacher was bullying you (a teacher bullied my sister!!! instead of him getting punished, the school put in rules where instead every single person with female genitalia would be bullied equally instead, even the fricking boys got in on it and did their best to shut it down because of how clear it was it was wrong). I was supposed to go into that building to be picked up by my mom on sunday and I had a panic attack at the idea of going inside again and made her pick me up early instead.
I wish people would stop thinking being transgender is a mental illness. I came out to my parents as a trans man, thinking they would be accepting, thinking I could trust that they love me unconditionally, but I was wrong. My mom said I must be crazy in the head and be mental and my dad just disowned me and kicked me out on the spot. Luckily i live with my very accepting grandparents, who do love me unconditionally, but I still am shaken up at the fact that something as simple as gender could have me disowned. I'm not even allowed to see my sisters anymore because of it either because my "mental illness will rub off on them". Sadly, my friends live hours away now, but we still meet up once a month all together to hang out, and they are also very supportive and have been. I wish I could drive so I could see them more and see my sisters again, but I havent been able to find a close location to take the road test that's a storter wait than 6 months, so I've got 2 months left to wait and I can finally see my sisters again.
BOY!!! You’re not mentally ill!!! Im so sorry man- if you’re parents don’t love you for who you are- they failed as parents. Now ima correctly gender you: MAN HOWS IT GOING YOU ARE SUCH A MANLY MAN YOU MAN
Unfortunately, mental illness is often just a label slapped on anything that society doesn't see as normal, regardless of whether it's actually an "illness." It's not like being transgender is a disease, but plenty of people want to treat it that way because it contributes to the stigma transgender people face already.
Transphobes’ logic: your child has a “mental illness” and is thus “vulnerable”? Kicking them out of your house seems like the best option for them to “get better”.
I'm so sorry this happened to you! As a fellow trans man, I can agree that it's hard to come out. I've tried coming out before to my Dad, but he just told me I was confused and "brainwashed by social media". Of course, it wasn't as bad as being kicked out, but now I have to go back into the closet and pretend to agree with his transphobic bullshit. I'm glad your living with your accepting grandparents now. It's great that your in a better environment.
Shoutout to Jamie for helping a whole generation of kids be less homophobic. I literally showed one of his videos to someone in my class who was very homophobic and transphobic. After it was over, he went quiet and just apologised for making me feel unaccepted and dehumanised. I will never forget how he's changed.
A lot of homophobic people are just uneducated and they repeat what they've been told all their lives. It's great that both you and Jammidodger changed that person's mind.
I wish when I was in junior high, I would've watched more videos like these. Then maybe I would've understood things better, and slowly but sure learned to except myself at an earlier stage in my life.
As a cis woman, someone being trans or not does not have any effect on me or how much of a woman I am. It’s annoying when people say that we are having things taken away from us. All I want is for trans women, and everyone else for that matter, to have the same rights that I do.
Karia Sislow In women shelters, women soup kitchens, women sports, "trans" women or real men in skirts or wearing long hair can impose their presence in order to intimidate and bully.
What's more silly, is that this entire ad is strung together by reactionary fear, but has the nerve to call a 6 year medical transition "a mere belief"
Fun fact: Scientifically, research has shown that trans people’s brains are wired more like the gender that they identify with, rather than their biological sex! So, trans people actually ARE the gender they identify with! The only thing wrong is their bodies! :D
As a cis, straight woman who doesn’t know any trans people personally I still don’t get how people can’t just look up a topic and educate themselves. That’s what I did, and I found wonderful RUclipsrs such as Jammidodger because of it.
I cant think of the exact quote but it was something along the lines of "If people gaining the same rights as you makes you feel like you are losing rights, you benefit from that oppression" and this is being seen so much.
Also, as a disabled person, when the hell did “no one should have to compete against anyone with biological differences/advantages! ” ever fucking became a thing.
Should high testosterone women be barred from sports? Should they be made to compete against low testosterone men? Where do we draw the line with "no unfair advantaged allowed"
For the trans sports thing: I know of one story in Texas where a trans boy (I'm using boy because he was a teenager at the time) was competing in wrestling, and They wouldn't let him compete against boys, so he competed against girls and did really well, and then the people he won against got mad saying that "she (cringe) shouldn't have been allowed to compete because she (cringe again) is on testosterone" 🙄🙄🙄
Lol... and they were right. Testosterone gives you an unfair advantage in women's sports. That's why the Olympics had to ban the use of Testosterone and steroids when a bunch of German women started taking Testosterone and wining against the other female teams. If you don't know what I'm referring to look it up... today their is a limit on Testosterone levels in the Olympics for trans women aka biological men who play in women's sports. Its no secret that Testosterone gives you an unfair advantage, this is basic science and common knowledge.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I think there are other factors than just testosterone. Many people claim that innate physiological differences between grown cis women & grown trans women still lead to unfair advantages even with sufficient testosterone suppression.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I'm aware of that. But you can't throw a hissy fit because someone did what you forced them to do. They should have either let him compete with the boys or not let him compete if he was on testosterone.
@@ShinyTillDawn yes... there are many things that give trans women (men) a biological advantage.. including but not limited to, larger lung capacity (important for competitive swimming), more red blood cell production, and better bone density (which equates to strength in sports like running), height and weight (a critical factor in most sports). Tall men with long legs run faster than women with shorter legs. Heavier men do better in MMA, boxing, and Rugby than thin women. Your testosterone levels are irrelevant to these factors. Cross sex hormones doesn't change any of the factors I've listed. These biological traits develop during puberty and they are irreversible. Any trans woman (man) who went through a natural puberty has a biological advantage over women, regardless of their hormone levels. Now, there is an argument to be made about trans women (men) who were given puberty blockers and never experienced a male puberty. In that case, some of the things I listed (like bone density, height, and weight) would not be a factor. The Olympic committee has drawn a distinction between trans people who experienced natural puberty and those who didn't. They don't require non-puberty trans women (men) to have the same hormone levels as those who experienced natural puberty. Regardless of puberty blockers or natural puberty, Men do NOT belong in women's sports or women's spaces like bathrooms!!! Biological men dominating our sports and stealing my scholarships is SEXISM, patriarchy, and the true oppression of women! Transgender women (men) are NOT women, they are TRANSGENDER women! Big difference.
Still trying to wrap my mind around an adoption center keeping a child from being adopted because they'd rather a kid have no family instead of a non-traditional one.
I was a track athlete in high school, and running up against a trans girl by no means would’ve have made me slower...? Also I feel like all locker rooms should have private changing areas that aren’t just bathroom stalls because there are always girls and boys (cis and trans) who aren’t fully comfortable showing their body even to other people of their gender.
Yeah, I agree! I always felt uncomfortable going into the locker rooms and changing in front of others. Not to mention bathroom stalls are really gross. Like extremely.
And these people act like gay doesn't exist lmao😂( I am talking about the locker thing). But I agree , I am a straight girl but I am not comfortable on showing my body to people.
"it's discrimination against women and girls." They say while they discriminate against women and girls. Edit: the Dan Lee person is a troll, wouldn't bother replying to them
they would never call out men or sexism or anything that actually oppresses women and girls. instead they actively support it! they don't give a shit about women and discrimination they just use it as an excuse to be transphobic.
Those athletes looked smaller than me and I'm an average sized 5'4 cis woman. Also I hate how a lot of these transphobic people hate on cis brown and black women by saying they're men. It's absolutely disgusting. It's not even the chromosomes anymore they're just guessing who's trans and whose cis and hating on everyone they think is Amab.
AFAIK the Colarado bakery was told "Yes you can refuse to bake them a cake, but when you posted the couples names, addresses and phone numbers on your FB page for people to threaten and harass them you broke the law."
Yeah, that seems to be a massively overlooked aspect of the case. It wasn't that they refused to bake the cake because the couple was gay, but that's what everyone paints the case as.
@@fafnyrslair oh man. That was happening mostly while I was in a religious school and didn't watch the news/use social media so this is the first time I'm hearing that. Obviously I thought while in that school, when they talked about it, that 'no if it was a black person you would realize that it's discrimination' but I didn't even know that they weren't suing over the cake part, it was always presented as just the cake. Fuck that teacher for real. I already hated him cuz he said that then bullied my sister relentlessly but purposely misholding facts (because I watched him reading about the trial itself, he read article after article) is awful. Wow. I didn't realize I could hate him more
Nyan Human - Yeah, I too only heard about the cake part. I’ve had fucking political discussions on the refusing the cake part. No one ever talks about how it wasn’t actually about the cake...
I'm with you. I'm sorely tempted punch my screen for this hate crime. I'm a transwoman, and I'd never harm a woman... and with the exception of a small pot belly because I'm trying to lose weight, I do NOT look anything like that hate art.
@Stripes what abuse? I don't see it tbh. Maybe im just on the wrong videos but most of the negativity seems to come from the transphobes that comment under other people's posts and then try to argue that trans people don't exist. I haven't really seen much abuse from the community itself yet but maybe that's just because I'm not that deep into it. What kind of abuse are you referring to?
@Stripes If you don't want to tell it's fine. I totally get that you don't want to get yelled at when you try to be nice. And yeah, "rough" might have been an understatement. But just saying, if you have like a question or anything about this whole gender activism and theory thing, I'll be happy to answer/discuss it with you.
My univeristy put a gender neutral bathroom and what a surprise it was exactly the same as a regular bathroom. Most of my friend group prefer it since you can find free tampons and pad (which aren't a school initiative but a box where people leave menstrual products for anyone who needs them) and it's decorated with rainbows.
That sounds awesome. I stayed in a dorm a couple summers ago (I usually lived off-campus, but I was working at a camp thing) and was super happy to discover that the dorm had gender-neutral bathrooms including showers... I think they were pretty much single stalls too, so there were a lot of them. That surprised me. Very different from the dorm I lived in at my previous school (which also didn't have elevators, but that's a different issue)
Unisex bathrooms: - Are clean - Have important things such as pads, tampons, and soap - Smell nice most of the time - Allow everyone to feel both respected and safe
it's funny how these people say that it's harmful for kids to be raised by members of the lgbtq+ community, but are completely okay with kids being in orphanages, single parent homes etc
@@chilldogs5444 there isn't anything wrong with them and i have hella respect for them. I meant that these people's arguments are that lgbt+ people shouldn't adopt because it's not a "propper family" but don't seem to have an issue with other households that aren't a classic family or are toxic. I should have worded it better
I'm not particularly religious but I grew up Catholic and the number one phrase my church would preach was that God loves all no matter what. Before I married my wife (were both cisgendered women) my grandparents asked if we would get a blessing and while we didn't have a church wedding, we decided to have a small ceremony the next day where we'd get our marriage blessed. I will never forget that afterwards the priest gave us both a hug and said "it doesn't matter who you love, God always will love you. Always remember that you still have the right to children and anything else. And you will always be welcome in the home of God." I greatly appreciated that and hope that more priests can be like that.
My lovely gay uncles raised two children, and did such a good job that the adoption agency they worked with actually asked them to take on a third kid. They were/are incredible parents. Not the main point of the video, but just a story I have and wanted to share.
I take care of a child with lesbian parents and he’s five years old and know my sibling’s pronouns and always tries his best to remember their pronouns. It makes me so happy and his parents are absolute angels, and one of them educated me and helped me find my identity
I really hate when people say kids need one dad and one mom. Even if you ignore gay couples adopting, what about single parents? Especially if one of the parents died.
exactly !! they invalidate so many peoples families, single parents, widows, gays, polyamorous couples aswell. truely such a stupid think to think, that a kid needs one mom and one dad
Also (I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense) gay couples might actually be better parents because of how they have to go through a whole long process and kerfuffle to have a child - they must really want and love that kid to do that.
I'm being discriminated against by tall people because they are better basketball players than me. Anyone over 6 foot should be banned because they have an advantage.
Everyone should be allowed to be who they are. But its just straigt facts that "biological males" has a physical advantage over "biological women". Women and males are just built different.
@@msk3571 Jamie showed in the video that trans athletes have not been proven as having an advantage. Loughborough university did a study on it and found the same thing.
@@msk3571 It's called sex verification. It's basically testing if someone's level of testosterone is high enough to significantly benefit them. When it's too high they have to either start taking estrogen so they lower their T levels or they compete in male's sport.
The fact that I got this exact ad before this video is just the peak of irony. If you get these types of ads make sure to always report them for being inappropriate.
I really don’t understand the argument with adoption. I personally was raised by a single parent for multiple years of my life, and those happened to be some of my best years. So, it’s not just discriminating towards lgbtq+ it’s straight up enforcing heteronormativity.
Single people(or maybe just single parents) can adopt children, making 1 parent. But people don't want LGBTQ+ couples to be able to adopt, making 2 parents. Like, how does that even make sense?
I remember this group of guys having a conversation near me a couple years back. They were talking about trans women using women’s toilets but of course saying “men.” They turn to ask me(I’m afab) if men using the women’s toilet would make me uncomfortable. I was living in a conservative state so they were obviously expecting me to say, “yes.” I told them “no” so they said, “you wouldn’t care if a man used the women’s bathroom?” I told them, “a ‘mans’ got a pee then ‘he’s’ got to pee.”(playing into the whole “man” bullshit for personal safety) Edit: Can we acknowledge that the athletics argument very blatantly plays into the misogynistic ideology that women are inferior to men? Imagine as a female athlete being told your genitalia guarantees that your hard work and dedication will never pay off.
On your edit: there is evidence suggesting that women, trans or cis, with normal testosterone and estrogen levels for women perform, on average, 11% "worse" than men with normal testosterone and estrogen levels for men; so technically, it is true that women will be slower on a sprint or not have the same physical strength as men. But that same evidence shows that trans-women who are on hormone therapy are comparable to cis-women in their respective sports categories. My source for this information is Samantha Lux, a trans-woman who creates videos on youtube regarding trans-issues like discrimination and harmful stereotypes. Suggesting that there is a physiological difference between men and women is not mysogynistic but quite realistic; however, it is important to acknowledge that trans-women's physioligy is more comparable to cis-women's, not cis-men's, as well as the fact that that does not make women worse than men, it just makes us different.
@@beardiemom I know there are differences(I guess I should have clarified), but it’s not enough to cause the kind of uproar transphobes commit to, even if trans women were more comparable to cis men(which, like you said, they aren’t). I hope that makes sense and thanks for the comment. I didn’t know much about the differences(just that it’s not as huge as people think) so this was very informative.
@@gaxalee7392 11% is actually quite a big differences, but because of that, there are criteria that a trans-athlete has to meet to compete, like being on HRT for 12 months prior to competing, which I'd say is fair, as the evidence suggests that to be a sufficient time to create an equal playing field.
@@gaxalee7392 To give a quick answer about the athletic thing, it IS a big topic and I am terribly sad and frustrated that we always either avoid that debate completely or give transphobic answers to it (while not solving anything). I am a cis woman competing in a strength sport (olympic weightlifting), and I cannot ignore male / female real differences : Just to give you a (very) rough idea, the sport has weight categories and you have to complete two lifts as heavy as possible. Men's "total" (sum of both lifts) record in -55kg category is : 294 kgs. Women's total record in -55kg is 227 kg. A 70kg difference. Of course this is a big approximation since -55kg male category is not the most competitive while women's -55 is among the most competitive in that gender, so the actual difference in strength for a same bodyweight is HUGE
And just to clarify why I am interested in this topic : I am very supportive of trans people and tired of seeing idiots not even discussing actual fairness in sport or any science backing the trans discrimination in sport but instead commenting on every performance made by a trans woman "YeAh WeLl ThIs iS a dUdE nOt a WoMaN". I would really like to see a smart conversation about this, backed with scientific evidence. And in my sport, people use Laurel Hubbard (trans woman from NZ competing in top-level and the Olympics) as an example of why it is unfair because she has transitioned late and lost very little of her strength since she competed in the male category before that, therefore now she is sweeping all national titles, records, and the ticket to the Olympics - and this completely eclipses the debate
I had a friend in 5th grade who destroyed all the boys in gym class. A misogynist sub we had once forced her to sit out because she was doing so well. Being male doesn't automatically mean you're superior at sports.
In average it means that though. And in 5th grade you might not have gone through puberty yet. Plus she might be the best now, but even if she's the best women in the world, then in mosts sports, she will still be only placing in lower ranks as soon as men start competing with her.
@@hannahwinterhalder741 Those are bold words not supported by evidence. There are already cisgender adult women in sports who are much taller, stronger or even have naturally greater amounts of testosterone in their blood than most of the other cis competitors in the same category as them. Should they also be considered to have an unfair advantage and forced to compete with men?
@Pandora Box Well they have an advantage an there are competitions where they are forced to take medicaments to lower their testosteron, so they can participate. And it's all supported by evidence look at how fa's women run and then at men's sport they are faster. I mean the fastest/strongest/fastest jumping human is always a man. It's a well known scientific fact that men are biological stronger. Or do you think that all women are just lazy and all men just work out more? Where do you think the difference comes from?
Yes, and the worst part is that they shouldn't have THIS kind of free speech (and yet people still believe them, like "Oh ! I haven't been able to say homophobic slurs and openly discriminate over a whole community without getting insulted back by this community ! I must be oppressed !")
I talked about this issue with my 15yo sister who is actively competing in volleyball tournaments and she said "cis boys come to our training sessions all the time and this has never given anyone unfair advantage, so I see no reason why trans girls shouldn't be allowed to play with us."
gender specifications in sports in general confuse me. like.... why are women and men split up??? why not split people up by physique, weight, and height? Like, I know some cis men that are fucking jacked, but I also know some cis men who I could snap in half like a twig and Im only 4'10. Having someone like me, who is that short, competing against someone that's, like, 6'2 and incredibly fit wouldn't be fair to me personally! Compared to the average person in general, I have to take about 3 steps for every one step they take just while walking. It doesnt matter if theyre cis or trans, if they are much taller than me, they will surpass me. yknow what i mean? and if people make the argument "but having women in men's locker rooms means men will get distracted!!! Men will act creepy!!! then 1) thats literally judging all men. 2) thats treating women like some "things" that people just wanna look at. stfu. 3) if they are creepy, thats their own issue and they need to be reported immediately. thats unprofessional and they should not be allowed to act that way if they actually wanna go into the professional realm.
@@exist4046 wait but how’d that work , men have on general more muscle , more fast twitch muscles , bigger lungs , better eye coordination , denser bones , greater durability , greater mobility , less fat in general , and have women beat on the strength both in the upper and lower body . No hate I’m just genuinely curious as to how that would work even with people being split up by physique, weight and height .
I was just explaining to an ignorant person that the word "people" doesn't exclude women or make them less important but instead it makes women, trans and non binary people equal
They didn’t like that I bet. That reminds me of how Bethany from Girl Defined recently went on an Instagram rant about how she’s not a person, she’s a woman who god made *special* with his “perfect” design so that she could give birth when not just any old person can do that meanwhile her own sister struggles to conceive a baby with god’s same “perfect” design. They’re so offensive even to people who are on their side, it’s ridiculous. 🙄
Its so cool that you have a PhD in these studies. I really appreciate your content because you have very educated, peer reviewed information and sources (unlike the transphobic videos). Thank you !!
Transphobe: But mah freedum! Transgender people: What about our freedom? Transphobe: You have the freedom to live as the gender you were assigned at birth and marrying someone of the opposite sex. Stop complaining!
Exactly. "You have the freedom to live the way we think you should" isn't exactly freedom, especially when that "way we think you should" goes against science and all current medical advice, and will literally cost lives. How is that freedom? It's like telling someone with a serious medical condition they have the "freedom" to be treated by leeches and nothing else, because some people don't believe in modern medicine. Crazy.
Legit had an 'argument' with someone like this the other day. SEVERAL people explained to them why this is wrong until at least for a while, they just fell silent. :P
im 99% sure that a trans woman wouldn't choose to change in front of cis women due to the fear of being hurt by transphobes. im a cis woman and im not comfortable changing in front of cis woman. most locker rooms have stalled toilets as well.
@@artvulture456 maybe it's the connotation I protest to but I don't feel being "prude" and being uncomfortable with revealing oneself around strangers like that are not exactly equivalent. You're all good and dandy in my book.
In middle and high school, I was 20 lbs lighter than most of my classmates, if not lighter so, and I usually had to wait until the locker room was nearly empty before I could change in and out of my gymsuit. And I'm not even transgender. It's appalling how hyper-Falwellian cults like the Alliance Propagating Repression use fear and panic to trick their supporters into blaming it all on transgenders for problems they didn't bring about.

Congrats! Since this comment is 2 years old i am assuming you are a lot happier and feel more like you (or at least part way there) and i couldn't be happier to see a person happy and comfortable in their own body.
heres a fun fact i found recently: homosexual was never in the bible! being lgbtq is not regarded as a sin!! it was added in like 1800 by american printing companies
Jesus was also explicitly fine with homosexuality in the original Greek. The Roman soldier who asked Jesus to heal his slave is a pretty commonly brought up story, but the fact that the word the soldier used translated basically as "male lover" until English scrapped that nuance gets overlooked. Similarly, the "men shall not lie with men" thing from the Old Testament was originally "men should not lie with boys"; it was denouncing pedophilia, not homosexuality.
@@toastghost9145 yesss. as a pan, non-binary Christian myself i wish this stuff was more known. people using the name of my faith to hurt my fellow lgbtq+ community and spreading all this hatred is so upsetting... :/
Yes I found this out recently too! I was told by my friend I've known for about 7 years who used to be extremely stereotypically Christian; she wasn't against LGBT+ people, but wasn't exactly super supportive either. Recently she moved out of her emotionally manipulative parents house, realised that the church group she used to attend was actually a cult, and has come out as gay!
I've been really transphobic for pretty much my whole life, but when my best friend came out as trans, it challenged everything I'd assumed about gender, sexuality, and the LGBT+ community as a whole. Somehow, I'd lived my life without ever bothering to think that LGBT+ people are human beings with feelings, only viewing them as... I don't even know. Caricatures, maybe? Not gonna lie, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get rid of my old transphobic biases and use my best friend's new pronouns, and it still kind of hurts my brain to try and think about these issues in a completely new light, but videos like these are helping me a lot. I always used to assume that trans people were loud and unreasonable and willingly chose to ignore science, but seeing people like Jamie calmly and rationally cite scientific studies to debunk transphobic claims... just wow. It's really bizarre looking back and remembering just how sure I was that I was right about everything, and I feel ashamed knowing that just a few months ago, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with that ad.
The best time to start learning to be better is 10 years ago. The next best time is today! You're doing great. Good job overcoming your initial biases.
I was the same way for a long time. However the more you interact with them and the more you learn about it the less transphobic you become, I am non-binary and even I still have some transphobia because that’s how I lived for so long, it’s a natural but slow progression
Of course they'd say that. They don't care about whose happy or what's good for others. They'll only just blindly follow the mistranslated bible or some dum shît like that
“It suppresses the church!” My church literally had a message on their leaderboard on trans day of visibility saying “trans siblings, we see you! You are loved!”
@@paradise9151 god… would be ashamed of loving people for who they are? Not murder, rape, exclusion, hate crimes, or sexual assault towards an already vulnerable minority?
@@jimmybobbyjoe When on gods green earth did i say that he would not hate those terrible things. God gave you your body. You are not to mutilate it. To think that 5 years ago we were debating whether TATTOOS were allowed or not. We've gone from a little ink in the skin, to fucking chopping genitals off!??? It's even the simple act of transgenderism. It's the connotations that come with it, which are all degenerate and ungodly. The sexualisation of children, the satanic rituals that come with the LGBTQ community, the disgusting and cruel protests they do which promote these degenerate acts.... It's not up to me to judge. But I can say with utmost certainty that God will condemn those were partake in these satanic and ungodly things. They are disgusting. Side note: Loving people for who they are? You are what you were born to be. Trying to change your gender is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of loving yourself for who you are 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ShinyTillDawn It does in my opinion. Of course i have no evidence, just faith. But I will say this, i've yet to meet an unlucky religious person. It's always the ungodly people who complain about how unlucky they are. Just some food for thought :)
Just gonna make a quick suggestion before someone says it aggressively or a transphobe tries to use your phrasing as an argument, *cis* woman I’m a cis girl supportive of trans folks too, and sorry if it seems like I’m being nit-picky or mean, I just wanna make the clarification that we’re all woman, just cis or trans Again, sorry for being that guy-
Since when is there any privacy in a locker room? If schools cared about privacy, they wouldn’t expect teenagers to change gym clothes in front of other teenagers at all.
Also, when people say stuff like that, or about trans women in women's bathrooms, do they not realise that it's probably 100x more uncomfortable for the transwoman?
The issue is men who pose as transwomen. And it is not good for the trans community to abandon women on such topics since many of them have supported the trans community for decades...so this is likely going to backfire on trans people.
Citing from a book about child development. "The important reason for having children, is to share love and time with the child." That's it nothing about the parents genders or sexual orientation just love your kid.
Too bad that most parents have kids for the exact opposite reason. They just want a scapegoat/servant/trophy to show off to society. "Look, I made this and I even beat it into obedience for your convenience! Am I a good person now?"
@@cerberaodollam Young adults just want to have sex, and some people are against abortions/contraception. Young adults don't always think about the consequences of their actions.
I personally was made uncomfortable by a trans guy in the wrong locker room. Because I think if he identified as male he is. He should get out of the girls locker room and go to the right one. And my school has no excuse for not knowing he's trans. He was 18 years old and they still used his dead name and like he even grew a beard. Like no excuse at all. It made many girls uncomfortable.
when she talked about the shelters, i got actually sick. those (cis) women are victims of sex trafficking and domestic violence, she says. this lady should ask herself why a trans woman would be there. is it because she just wants to... harass them? why would a trans woman be in that shelter if she hadn't been through something just as bad?? they legit don't use their heads... ugh
the implications that trans woman are in woman's places just to harass them is aweful, if a man (since they believe trans woma are man) wants to harass woman they wouldn't participate in female sports, and go to shelters ??
It's like they forget there are like 16 diferent chromosomes in charge of sex. That argument is sh*t Can you imagine, if the reaserch about trans people trows out that the cause of being transgender is a chromosome mutation? That would make them stfu.
and how there is so much more to chromosomes than just xx and xy. Chromosomal gender, identified gender, sexual gender, and hormonal gender are all different things believe it or not. Chromosomal gender is the gender your chromosomes apply to. Identified gender is the gender people identify as. Sexual gender is the gender of your body parts. Finally, hormonal gender is a whole fucking can of worms on its own. I have met someone who identified as a man, had the body parts of a woman, had the chromosomes of a man, and a hormone imbalance. People really need to shut up about the chromosome argument.
@@narratornate8841 one day i genuinely wanna learn what my chromosomes are because with how fucky my body is in terms of hormones and shit i wonder if i have some sorts of complicated shit in those cells of mine that or im infertile, which is nice i guess. would mean i dont need to have surgery done later for that. im already terrified of possibly needing top surgery as my dysphoria is slowly growing more prominent for me, i cannot fucking imagine how horrifying getting any sort of lower surgery would be (im afab and nonbinary, for some added context, and never EVER want children)
@@dre1978 I feel hurt, anger and fear that homophobic and transphobic people exist. Especially when they want to hurt anyone who are different from them.
Very well done. The sad part is that many people believe this propaganda. They are so manipulated that they think their homophobic and transphobic views are actually correct. Your practical and evidence-based (or non-based, as it were) approach provides a logical and critical thinking argument. Thank you for what you do.
I hate when people say “So you’re saying I don’t have the rights to practice my religion?!” You do, but you’re forgetting that almost all religions have a golden rule. Basically saying “Treat other how you want to be treated” so if you want to have rights then treat other people like they should have rights
Those people mostly adhere to Fire and Brimstone teaching. They want to opress people with their religous views becasue they think they're in the right. Then if anyone threatens that view then your an enemy in their eyes.
I respect people who are religious, I don’t respect people who use their religion as an excuse. I would never force someone to not be in a religion, J just point out some inconsistencies when people like this say stupid things like this that are false
Also these people try to force their religious views on other people, then when told they can't, suddenly they don't have religious freedom. While still going to their church. But of course, only THEIR freedom matters

Hi, Christian here, religion is no excuse to justify hate and discrimination. It’s disgusting how my religion is used to justify horrible homophobia and transphobia. No excuse.
As long as children are loved & supported in stable homes it doesn’t matter what sexual orientation, identification, what race, gender or if your a single parent!
Precisely and that is what the science shows and what all secular psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists agree with. Phobic bigots should learn to shut up and listen. All they're doing is show how ignorant and insecure they are.
@@kenandbeck1 Secular means without connection to religious or spiritual matters, or not bound by religious rules, according to google. I understand it as: without religion or religious interference. I practice it more as: ignoring, discouraging, and dismissing any religious ideas while making decisions because religion is the worst influence when making important decisions and gives no useful or accurate information about any subject. Well, with one exception: it helps not overestimate people's intelligence or knowledge. Religious presence shows that people are really fucking stupid and uninformed and we should expect really stupid decisions and not overestimate people's intelligence or knowledge. And I'm not talking about not knowing a word and asking what it means, I'm talking about knowing jack shit about anything and asserting without any evidence better than second hand interpretations of third hand accounts to know that a god exists, what it wants, why we should give a shit, and that we should act and think like those people say their god wants us to act and think.
HOLLY FIRST MINUTE!!!!! i am trans and this has helped me through a lot in life, it helped me accept myself and i hope it has helped you as well! remember, even when life feels terrible, there are people like you out there
When I was in a play, we obviously had dressing rooms to change into our costumes. I had a trans girl in the spot right next to me in the dressing room and she was probably the nicest person I've ever met. She sometimes even needed me to help her zip up her dress because it kept getting caught on her mic. Clearly, nothing bad happened because there was a trans girl in a girl's dressing room. In fact, I didn't even know she was trans until she told me, and I made a new friend :)
As a person with a single mother, she and I cannot be more happier then ever in fact the only time was feeling bad was when my father tried to get “back into my life” so the idea that people will be sad without two parents a father and mother makes me disappointed 😔
@collars and cuffs Thanks but to be clear I don’t think that because they have single mothers it means they have a higher chance of becoming criminals or being sad, I think it stems from deeper issues then just you being raised by a single parent correct me if I’m wrong but it just doesn’t make much sense other then maybe there is abuse and even then not all abuse victims are criminals, or money problems that make them lean on robberies or something a long those lines but being a single mother I think has nothing to do with it after all if you are living comfortably and you and your parent (mother or father) are getting along I don’t see where there is a problem. You might have not meant it the way I’m thinking and if that’s the way I apologize
@collars and cuffs fake (at least in my experience), when my mother and father were together they were total chaos and were fighting each other all the time, then when they separated I stayed with my mother, who, even if was at work a lot of the time, would take care of me, and she educated me in a very inclusive way so I didnt had any gender roles while I was growing up (but I always acted more "boyish" until I was 9 and discovered I was trans lol), this was while my dad was absent a lot, and with a lot I mean that even when he was home he wouldnt talk to me, he was always telling me about his accomplishments and would never care of what I ever did, and when I told him whatever I did in the day he wouldnt care unless it was something I could do for him, he ended up not talking to me when I trashed him for not letting me buy some clothes and when my stepmother told him I identifed as a girl, so Idk, I prefer being raised by a single mother than with a bigot like my dad.
@Nikita Hichoii I’m in a similar situation and yes I’m definitely happier without my father in my life the only time I get really sad is when he tries to force me to go to his house again.

GUYS! Guys. I finally managed to talk my mom into getting me my first binder. I'm getting a binder guys. I can't wait. I literally can't wait... I think I finally convinced her. Update: I got it weeks earlier than expected and I love it. Every time I walk past a mirror I just start grinning, because for the first time in over a decade, I actually feel somewhat comfortable. What is this sorcery?! XD I have another update: I'm currently staying at a psych ward and the therapists there are helping me find a group to speak about trans stuff and also a therapist who specialises in the subject. Also, also, the head doctor noticed that people at the ward kept calling me a different name and asked me why... he was the first one to ever call me Mr. and I spent the next hour or so grinning like an idiot. I finally kicked things off... thing can get better... and I don't think I would be in the place I'm at if it weren't for people like Jamie, Samantha Lux or OT... Things are getting better and I can't believe it. Edit: Since I'm still getting replies to this, here's another update. The therapist who I got in touch with ended up basically passing me off to someone else, because I mentioned that I might be somewhere near the nonbinary spectrum (like a demiguy) and apparently she didn't think nonbinary people are valid, so now I'm basically at square one again... I did however, get a therapist to kinda fill the gap until I can find someone who can help me with my transition, whohappens to share an office with someone who has that qualification, so if I'm lucky, the next spot that they have open up, could potentially be mine, since they work so closely together, and man, do I need that spot. Like, yeah... so do a lot of other people, but I've been waiting for so long and my anxiety and dysphoria have gotten to a point that I just can't take it anymore...
After watching this ad I (as a possibly trans-women) seriously was considering suicide as better option opposed to living in a world that treats me the way the advertisement did. *Thank you, Jammie, for being the voice of reason and support*
I saw this ad tagged on to the end of one of One Topic's videos, I was so angry, not just at the fact this ad is just pure ignorant hate speech but also that it was put onto a channel that supports and loves everyone for who they are.
Love how the "without both a mother and a father" part instead of taking away one parent and replacing it with another of the same gender it just takes away both parents _its nerf or nothing ig_
The discomfiting thing is, when you're a baby feminist, it's far too easy to swallow the types of points made at the beginning of the video, especially when the person doesn't bother qualifying the "men" as "identifying as women". Someone saying "allowing men into women's spaces is dangerous and shouldn't be allowed" sounds reasonable, until you find out later that the person who said it is a raging transphobe and was actually talking about trans women. And the points about "men" invading women's sports also sound valid if you're a female athlete that has witnessed the transformations of her peers firsthand, where young girls have faster average speeds than young boys, but teenage boys have faster average speeds than teenage girls! I'm endlessly grateful for channels like this over the years that have helped me unlearn the shitty "feminist" ideas I picked up as I grew up, because the line between fact and conjecture can be hard to see if you're only just learning how to Think about the world.
What helps is whenever you find a piece of information that "backs up" bigotry, try to trace it back to the original source. If there is none, then it's not based on science, and if there is, odds are it was horribly misinterpreted, often on purpose.

That ad was so insulting on so many levels. The part that hit me hardest was their belief that LGBTQ+ families aren't fit to raise children.
My 2 daughters have gay male parents, one of whom is trans. I haven't noticed our gay-ness or my trans-ness affecting their development. They seem fine.
That is by far the worst thing here.
I know an LGBTQ+ Family, and they are amazing. Such a great family, super nice and fun to be around.
I will never stop being mad at the fact that people try to claim that oppressing certain groups of people is a religious right.
Ikr? A lot of it seems to be Christianity, too, which... I’m not Christian, but isn’t part of the Bible saying to love EVERYONE? Not only that, but I’m pretty sure Jesus said that loving everyone was EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT as loving God. Idk, feel free to correct me.
Those religious fanatics propably have never actually read the Bible. Just cherrypicking bits out of it, or more likely somebody else in their congregation is telling what to believe. You see a lot of that in atheist youtube channels comment sections. So much hate and bigotry which often sprouts from fears fed by their religious groups.
As a Christian myself, I find it heartbreaking and angering when people who claim to be Christians use the bible to spread hate and fear when that is the exact opposite of what we where called to do! "Love your neighbor as yourself just as God has loved you"

“Should church adoption centers be shut down for believing that the best environment for a child is with a mother and a father?”
YES. Because if you’re allowing your personal beliefs to control what future a child has, and denying them a chance to be in a safe home because there’s two moms or two dads, then you should lose your ability to work with those children. Period.
Indeed. Meanwhile, here in Mexico, I have heard priests reminding people that, yes, if a child can get the love and support of a family, it does not matter if it's two men or two women. Just let them grow up with a family; they probably went through a lot to end up in the adoption system.

"why don't we have the right to make other peoples lives h3ll"
Indeed, and oppression which is part of the very fabric of some religions in that it is taken as axiomatic that we should consider something as evil if the holy book says so. A holy book whose text was codified many centuries ago.
Um, please say your joking and know it was talking about freedom to write , and was a press as in printing press
I'm like 90% sure that I'm trans ftm. I'm not out to my family. I've started going by Auggie or Augustus. My mother wanted to show me an image. That's it just an image about a trans woman who won a competition against two cis women. She asked if I thought it was okay and I said yes. It went on for a while but I said "Even *IF* trans women did have an unfair advantage against cis women, they are women, so therefore still adding to women's success and showing trans representation at the same time. And that should be a good thing. " She said that well have to agree to disagree and she said " I understand but find it disgusting that you dont think this is wrong"
I'm scared. I couldn't even get her to talk about trans men. I dont know how she'll react when I tell her or if she'll even love me anymore. I hate my stepdad as he is strongly a right Republican who is transphobic and homophobic. My dad is a little transphobic but not as bad as my mom and stepdad. Not to mention my grandma and grandpa. Right now the 8 people in my family that I feel like I can trust is narrowed down to one. Shout out to my sister lauren. Anyways that's just a vent. I know most people won't read this but thank you Jaime for bringing attention to this issue. I'm saving this video for when my mother tries to make this argument again.
Sire Augustus, just don't. They don't need to know. Just try to talk to them as little as possible and only "agree" with them. You will not change their minds. Sorry to say this dude.
I hope you’re doing okay ❤️❤️❤️
Im sorry you have to go through that. You're not alone! (Also unrelated but Augustus is a fuckin awesome name)
Hi, it's been a while since you posted but I hope you're doing well. Augustus is a great name and I hope you are able to find a supportive environment. Hang in there!
So you admit that biological men who believe they are women have an advantage over biological women in sport, and that you simply just don't care, but believe that it's a "good thing"...? Disgusting. No wonder your parents think you're a weirdo.
So lately my cis mom started going to work in a mask that literally says "I'm a woman", just because she's unhappy with being constantly misgendered. So imagine her surprise when some random man yelled "You'll never be a woman!". Ouch. I had to sit her down and explain what happened and almost cried when she asked "How do you do it??". Welcome to Poland btw, sorry if my English sucks.
Your English is really good actually!! Don't worry about it!
And I'm honestly worried for y'all in Poland.
1. That english was better then MY USUAL ENGLISH
2. Jesus christ are you ok
Oh damn, you good??
❤️
Thank you, guys, I'm quite okay unlike many people I know. What's happening in my country's a total mess. The government's best ability's finding its non existants threats, and their supporters- Well. I'm quite interested in what they say abroad about our situation, because it feels like the rest of Europe just lets it slide. (My mom continues to wear the mask, now for an entirely different reason. Thanks mom.)
Jamie citing himself as a source makes me extremely happy
SAME!

@Agent Of Chaos 666 yea cuz minoritied include everyone except white cishet able-bodied christian (or non-religious) men lol. Small minority
Aside from how transphobic this is, this is so incredibly, blatantly sexist.
Its infuriating.
Is it really sexist though? Or is it just a fact based opinion that defers from yours? A 6ft man against a 5’4 women is going to win. Especially if they have the same training and ability. That is just the biological way
@@Dukdukgoose23 h
And a little bit racist.
@@Dukdukgoose23 My cousin, biologically female, is 6'3 and is pure muscle, would kick a 6ft man's ass any day (and has before btw, as she does boxing and played sports in college). Should we discreminate against her because she's different than most other female's strength? Should she be put in the men's category? Or what about my friend emily who has a syndrome where she has increased testosterone which also makes her different?

"'but what about my right to discriminate! ಠ ೧ ಠ"'
@Cobblecrest True Crime i realised that too
I love that phrase: "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequence." - Perfect!
Off topic but your profile pic is so cute
Also, many Americans have absolutely no idea that "free speech" means that they are free to criticize the government NOT that they are free to say whatever TF they wish.
This is why we have slander and libel laws, this is why a person may be legally fired from their work for popping off whatever pops into their brains & out their mouths.
For a less opaque explanation:
"Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction."
"Freedom of speech and expression, therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury. Justifications for such include the harm principle, proposed by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty, which suggests that "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.""
Sorry this was so long but I wanted to be as clear as possible and I am not a lawyer.
@@Kymberlee_W Yes! Exactly!
@@Kymberlee_W that is a great quote for explaining it, thank you for making me aware of it, typically i just use the fire in a crowded theatre to explain but really this does a far better job explaining the intricacy of the topic.
Exactly. All "freedom of speech" means is that the GOVERNMENT cannot punish you for saying something. It has nothing to do with if the people around you agree or tell you to stop.
They are basically saying "you can't take away my right to hate you and take your rights away". I can't believe these people don't see the irony in their rhetoric.
@Isaac Smith where does that even mentioned
@Isaac Smith wow narrow minded much? Its not even what the OP is saying.
*As a ciswoman who competed in sports for college scholarships* : Finishing first place doesn't guarantee you getting a scholarship, and finishing second place doesn't mean you'll never get a scholarship. Even being on Varsity vs JV doesn't affect it that much. You have to send multiple colleges a highlight reel of your best moments, go to that school's tryouts, and create almost a resume of your academic and extracurricular achievements. Someone being better than you doesn't mean you'll never get a scholarship, and even if you don't get that exact scholarship to that exact school your competitor did- there are SO many other great schools. I could argue that a woman who's 6'0 her freshman year had an unfair advantage over me, who didn't hit 5'0 until I turned 18. But I trained harder, and worked my ass off to be as good as I could be. And guess what? Still got scholarships.
And on the locker room argument - Make gender neutral spaces. A lot of people are too shy to change in front of anyone, and I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable when they were getting undressed around an openly bi girl. Make a separate space to accommodate those who are uncomfortable, and maybe promote healthy communication skills to awkward teenagers who just want to feel accepted, loved, and included by their peers??
So u would be fine losing ur deserved titles to someone else who u cant compete with
Finishing in first place a lot does guarantee you a scholarship. Just say you weren’t that good or wasn’t highly recruited
@@Johenz she legit said that she got worked hard and got scholarships. Did you even read any of what she said?
They're also saying a woman can never possibly beat a man in any sport.
Someone send this video to Billie Jean King ASAP!!!!!!
I know right! In every single video against trans women in sports, they make women out to be completely inferior to men, which I think is utterly insulting. Maybe in some sports there would be a more noticeable difference between sexes, but they act like cis women are incapable of beating a cis man.
It’s interesting, TERFs try to be just transphobic, and yet they’re also sexist as well.
@@mintytheshade3754 but simultaneously, even though the Bible says that "a woman should not speak over a man," women's rights are fine, but LGBTQ+ rights are out of the question. I would like them to be consistent with their discrimination please and thank you.
Right? They're transphobic, homophobic, AND sexist.
I'm a trans man, and I played 2 seasons of little league baseball as a kid. I was the only AFAB on the team, and I had no trouble keeping up. And no one on the team cared that they had to play with a "girl." We were just kids having fun.
the adoption part was both homophobic and disrespectful to people who want to adopt and aren't married, wtf is wrong with these people?
And single parents. Let's not forget them.
And cis women and men who are infertile
@@myasmith1820 And even intersex people. Homophobic people bring up biology being about a man and a woman only but they forget about intersex people.
@@Hauntaku I've literally seen people say they dont exist.
wha- how can that amount of stupidity exist, fr these transphobes need some help
the whole religious schools part of this video really just felt like they were saying "we can't indoctrinate our students and force them to conform to our beliefs anymore and we're kinda pissy about that"
Exactly! "Churches are going to go extinct because they can't be openly bigoted anymore!" Weeellll, guess your religion wasn't that solid a philosophy after all then, was it?
Yeah conservative Christians are in panic mode because it's getting increasingly more difficult for them to force their bigoted nonsense on their kids. God bless the internet and supportive peoples. ♥
I went to a religious school and when they mentioned religious schools might be shut down I got mad and thought "fucking good that shit is awful" it's like all the bad parts of public school got amplified because they didn't have to follow the rules and you couldn't take it any higher up if a teacher was bullying you (a teacher bullied my sister!!! instead of him getting punished, the school put in rules where instead every single person with female genitalia would be bullied equally instead, even the fricking boys got in on it and did their best to shut it down because of how clear it was it was wrong). I was supposed to go into that building to be picked up by my mom on sunday and I had a panic attack at the idea of going inside again and made her pick me up early instead.
True
Its not whatit feels like they want to say it IS what they are saying. Just another day of hidden conversion therapy they want to keep hidden.
I wish people would stop thinking being transgender is a mental illness. I came out to my parents as a trans man, thinking they would be accepting, thinking I could trust that they love me unconditionally, but I was wrong. My mom said I must be crazy in the head and be mental and my dad just disowned me and kicked me out on the spot. Luckily i live with my very accepting grandparents, who do love me unconditionally, but I still am shaken up at the fact that something as simple as gender could have me disowned. I'm not even allowed to see my sisters anymore because of it either because my "mental illness will rub off on them". Sadly, my friends live hours away now, but we still meet up once a month all together to hang out, and they are also very supportive and have been. I wish I could drive so I could see them more and see my sisters again, but I havent been able to find a close location to take the road test that's a storter wait than 6 months, so I've got 2 months left to wait and I can finally see my sisters again.
BOY!!! You’re not mentally ill!!! Im so sorry man- if you’re parents don’t love you for who you are- they failed as parents. Now ima correctly gender you: MAN HOWS IT GOING YOU ARE SUCH A MANLY MAN YOU MAN
Unfortunately, mental illness is often just a label slapped on anything that society doesn't see as normal, regardless of whether it's actually an "illness." It's not like being transgender is a disease, but plenty of people want to treat it that way because it contributes to the stigma transgender people face already.
Transphobes’ logic: your child has a “mental illness” and is thus “vulnerable”? Kicking them out of your house seems like the best option for them to “get better”.
I'm so sorry this happened to you! As a fellow trans man, I can agree that it's hard to come out. I've tried coming out before to my Dad, but he just told me I was confused and "brainwashed by social media". Of course, it wasn't as bad as being kicked out, but now I have to go back into the closet and pretend to agree with his transphobic bullshit.
I'm glad your living with your accepting grandparents now. It's great that your in a better environment.
I hope things have only gotten better for you.
Shoutout to Jamie for helping a whole generation of kids be less homophobic. I literally showed one of his videos to someone in my class who was very homophobic and transphobic. After it was over, he went quiet and just apologised for making me feel unaccepted and dehumanised. I will never forget how he's changed.
That’s amazing! I’m glad for both of you that it worked 💖
A lot of homophobic people are just uneducated and they repeat what they've been told all their lives. It's great that both you and Jammidodger changed that person's mind.
That’s so poggers! I should show his videos to my parents...hopefully I’ll get the same effect :D
I'm glad it worked out for you too!
I wish when I was in junior high, I would've watched more videos like these. Then maybe I would've understood things better, and slowly but sure learned to except myself at an earlier stage in my life.
As a cis woman, someone being trans or not does not have any effect on me or how much of a woman I am. It’s annoying when people say that we are having things taken away from us. All I want is for trans women, and everyone else for that matter, to have the same rights that I do.
Yes. Good human.
That argument in total is dumb. Nothing is being stolen from you if you just, ya know, respect and accept people.
As another cis woman, I agree with everything you just said.
Just like they think gay marriage is an attack on straight people 🤦🏾♀️
Karia Sislow In women shelters, women soup kitchens, women sports, "trans" women or real men in skirts or wearing long hair can impose their presence in order to intimidate and bully.
"biological male who believes he is female"
nothing is okay with that sentence
Nothing is ok in that ad at all 😂
What's more silly, is that this entire ad is strung together by reactionary fear, but has the nerve to call a 6 year medical transition "a mere belief"
Fun fact: Scientifically, research has shown that trans people’s brains are wired more like the gender that they identify with, rather than their biological sex! So, trans people actually ARE the gender they identify with! The only thing wrong is their bodies! :D
It perfectly describes "trans women" though
@@danlee7162 no, trans women don't "believe" they're women. they ARE
they were just born in the wrong body
As a cis male, thank you so much for helping us (allies) understand trans women and men better
You are not a cis male. You are male
As a cis, straight woman who doesn’t know any trans people personally I still don’t get how people can’t just look up a topic and educate themselves. That’s what I did, and I found wonderful RUclipsrs such as Jammidodger because of it.
yes.
You wanted to learn. But many people just want to reaffirm their existing impression of the world.
I have one trans friend she is AWESOME and I love her she will always be my friend anyone who hirts her I'll put in a fucking gas chamber
You are a wonderful human!!
That’s so wonderful! As someone from the LGBTQ+ Community, I just want to thank you for being an ally
I cant think of the exact quote but it was something along the lines of "If people gaining the same rights as you makes you feel like you are losing rights, you benefit from that oppression" and this is being seen so much.
That quote is a little stupid.
@@CoolMyron how
@@artvulture456 nevermind I revoke my statement LOL. I read the quotes wrong
@@CoolMyron lol
O think the quote is “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”
Also, as a disabled person, when the hell did “no one should have to compete against anyone with biological differences/advantages! ” ever fucking became a thing.
Right! Then like, are we just not allowed to compete with anyone anymore?? We are literally ALL DIFFERENT.
Ah yes, we must create clones of ourselves and have a bunch of copies of ourselves to compete against 🤔
I also have a disability and I thought it was stupid we all are different from each other different race, gender and sexuality
Should high testosterone women be barred from sports? Should they be made to compete against low testosterone men? Where do we draw the line with "no unfair advantaged allowed"
I didn't realized that, thanks for saying it Annmarie
For the trans sports thing: I know of one story in Texas where a trans boy (I'm using boy because he was a teenager at the time) was competing in wrestling, and They wouldn't let him compete against boys, so he competed against girls and did really well, and then the people he won against got mad saying that "she (cringe) shouldn't have been allowed to compete because she (cringe again) is on testosterone" 🙄🙄🙄
people are freaking asinine
Lol... and they were right. Testosterone gives you an unfair advantage in women's sports. That's why the Olympics had to ban the use of Testosterone and steroids when a bunch of German women started taking Testosterone and wining against the other female teams. If you don't know what I'm referring to look it up... today their is a limit on Testosterone levels in the Olympics for trans women aka biological men who play in women's sports. Its no secret that Testosterone gives you an unfair advantage, this is basic science and common knowledge.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I think there are other factors than just testosterone. Many people claim that innate physiological differences between grown cis women & grown trans women still lead to unfair advantages even with sufficient testosterone suppression.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I'm aware of that. But you can't throw a hissy fit because someone did what you forced them to do. They should have either let him compete with the boys or not let him compete if he was on testosterone.
@@ShinyTillDawn yes... there are many things that give trans women (men) a biological advantage.. including but not limited to, larger lung capacity (important for competitive swimming), more red blood cell production, and better bone density (which equates to strength in sports like running), height and weight (a critical factor in most sports). Tall men with long legs run faster than women with shorter legs. Heavier men do better in MMA, boxing, and Rugby than thin women. Your testosterone levels are irrelevant to these factors. Cross sex hormones doesn't change any of the factors I've listed. These biological traits develop during puberty and they are irreversible. Any trans woman (man) who went through a natural puberty has a biological advantage over women, regardless of their hormone levels.
Now, there is an argument to be made about trans women (men) who were given puberty blockers and never experienced a male puberty. In that case, some of the things I listed (like bone density, height, and weight) would not be a factor. The Olympic committee has drawn a distinction between trans people who experienced natural puberty and those who didn't. They don't require non-puberty trans women (men) to have the same hormone levels as those who experienced natural puberty.
Regardless of puberty blockers or natural puberty, Men do NOT belong in women's sports or women's spaces like bathrooms!!! Biological men dominating our sports and stealing my scholarships is SEXISM, patriarchy, and the true oppression of women! Transgender women (men) are NOT women, they are TRANSGENDER women! Big difference.
Still trying to wrap my mind around an adoption center keeping a child from being adopted because they'd rather a kid have no family instead of a non-traditional one.
This one gets to me all the time!

HELL?!
I was a track athlete in high school, and running up against a trans girl by no means would’ve have made me slower...?
Also I feel like all locker rooms should have private changing areas that aren’t just bathroom stalls because there are always girls and boys (cis and trans) who aren’t fully comfortable showing their body even to other people of their gender.
Yeah, I agree! I always felt uncomfortable going into the locker rooms and changing in front of others. Not to mention bathroom stalls are really gross. Like extremely.
this!
some people just arnt comfortable with changing in front of people!
Agreed
As a gay cis guy. I agree!
And these people act like gay doesn't exist lmao😂( I am talking about the locker thing). But I agree , I am a straight girl but I am not comfortable on showing my body to people.
"it's discrimination against women and girls."

AFAIK the Colarado bakery was told "Yes you can refuse to bake them a cake, but when you posted the couples names, addresses and phone numbers on your FB page for people to threaten and harass them you broke the law."

Wait, what?! They did that?!?! What the actual fuck?!
@@Tustin2121 yes, that's what the case actually was about, not them refusing to bake the cake
@@fafnyrslair oh man. That was happening mostly while I was in a religious school and didn't watch the news/use social media so this is the first time I'm hearing that. Obviously I thought while in that school, when they talked about it, that 'no if it was a black person you would realize that it's discrimination' but I didn't even know that they weren't suing over the cake part, it was always presented as just the cake. Fuck that teacher for real. I already hated him cuz he said that then bullied my sister relentlessly but purposely misholding facts (because I watched him reading about the trial itself, he read article after article) is awful. Wow. I didn't realize I could hate him more
Nyan Human - Yeah, I too only heard about the cake part. I’ve had fucking political discussions on the refusing the cake part. No one ever talks about how it wasn’t actually about the cake...

Jamie's community is so wholesome they even comment nice messages under the videos that deal with transphobia.
@Stripes what abuse? I don't see it tbh. Maybe im just on the wrong videos but most of the negativity seems to come from the transphobes that comment under other people's posts and then try to argue that trans people don't exist. I haven't really seen much abuse from the community itself yet but maybe that's just because I'm not that deep into it. What kind of abuse are you referring to?
@Stripes that sounds rough. But now I'm curious. What exactly did you say that made them so angry?
@Stripes If you don't want to tell it's fine. I totally get that you don't want to get yelled at when you try to be nice. And yeah, "rough" might have been an understatement. But just saying, if you have like a question or anything about this whole gender activism and theory thing, I'll be happy to answer/discuss it with you.
@Stripes well I can assure you I'm good faith haha
My univeristy put a gender neutral bathroom and what a surprise it was exactly the same as a regular bathroom. Most of my friend group prefer it since you can find free tampons and pad (which aren't a school initiative but a box where people leave menstrual products for anyone who needs them) and it's decorated with rainbows.
That sounds awesome.
I stayed in a dorm a couple summers ago (I usually lived off-campus, but I was working at a camp thing) and was super happy to discover that the dorm had gender-neutral bathrooms including showers... I think they were pretty much single stalls too, so there were a lot of them. That surprised me. Very different from the dorm I lived in at my previous school (which also didn't have elevators, but that's a different issue)
@Milan Ackovski trigger warning please
Oh my god WE NEED MORE OF THESE gendered bathrooms ✨suck✨
Unisex bathrooms:
- Are clean
- Have important things such as pads, tampons, and soap
- Smell nice most of the time
- Allow everyone to feel both respected and safe

I'm not particularly religious but I grew up Catholic and the number one phrase my church would preach was that God loves all no matter what. Before I married my wife (were both cisgendered women) my grandparents asked if we would get a blessing and while we didn't have a church wedding, we decided to have a small ceremony the next day where we'd get our marriage blessed. I will never forget that afterwards the priest gave us both a hug and said "it doesn't matter who you love, God always will love you. Always remember that you still have the right to children and anything else. And you will always be welcome in the home of God." I greatly appreciated that and hope that more priests can be like that.
Wholesome ❤
My lovely gay uncles raised two children, and did such a good job that the adoption agency they worked with actually asked them to take on a third kid. They were/are incredible parents. Not the main point of the video, but just a story I have and wanted to share.
Your uncles sound like good guys.
Aww that's so sweet
This just made me so happy :)
I’m the kid of lesbian parents and I love hearing about more kids like me
I take care of a child with lesbian parents and he’s five years old and know my sibling’s pronouns and always tries his best to remember their pronouns. It makes me so happy and his parents are absolute angels, and one of them educated me and helped me find my identity
I really hate when people say kids need one dad and one mom. Even if you ignore gay couples adopting, what about single parents? Especially if one of the parents died.
@@thegoodpilgrim1327 there’s no difference between cishet parents and lgbtq+ parents though. It’s still a family
If one of your parents dies that's a moral failing apparently
My dad died, i guess my family is broken and invalid😀
exactly !! they invalidate so many peoples families, single parents, widows, gays, polyamorous couples aswell. truely such a stupid think to think, that a kid needs one mom and one dad
Also (I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense) gay couples might actually be better parents because of how they have to go through a whole long process and kerfuffle to have a child - they must really want and love that kid to do that.
I'm being discriminated against by tall people because they are better basketball players than me. Anyone over 6 foot should be banned because they have an advantage.

People want to discriminate freely, then they'll say they're opressed because they cant comit crimes without going to jail
Truth
I really don’t understand the argument with adoption. I personally was raised by a single parent for multiple years of my life, and those happened to be some of my best years. So, it’s not just discriminating towards lgbtq+ it’s straight up enforcing heteronormativity.
Single people(or maybe just single parents) can adopt children, making 1 parent. But people don't want LGBTQ+ couples to be able to adopt, making 2 parents. Like, how does that even make sense?
@@taylorllewelyn they probably dont want the kids to "grow up gay", even though thats not how it works 🤣
yeah they say a child needs both a father and a mother, yet they're okay with single parents, it doesn't make sense.
I remember this group of guys having a conversation near me a couple years back. They were talking about trans women using women’s toilets but of course saying “men.” They turn to ask me(I’m afab) if men using the women’s toilet would make me uncomfortable. I was living in a conservative state so they were obviously expecting me to say, “yes.” I told them “no” so they said, “you wouldn’t care if a man used the women’s bathroom?” I told them, “a ‘mans’ got a pee then ‘he’s’ got to pee.”(playing into the whole “man” bullshit for personal safety)
Edit: Can we acknowledge that the athletics argument very blatantly plays into the misogynistic ideology that women are inferior to men? Imagine as a female athlete being told your genitalia guarantees that your hard work and dedication will never pay off.
On your edit: there is evidence suggesting that women, trans or cis, with normal testosterone and estrogen levels for women perform, on average, 11% "worse" than men with normal testosterone and estrogen levels for men; so technically, it is true that women will be slower on a sprint or not have the same physical strength as men. But that same evidence shows that trans-women who are on hormone therapy are comparable to cis-women in their respective sports categories.
My source for this information is Samantha Lux, a trans-woman who creates videos on youtube regarding trans-issues like discrimination and harmful stereotypes.
Suggesting that there is a physiological difference between men and women is not mysogynistic but quite realistic; however, it is important to acknowledge that trans-women's physioligy is more comparable to cis-women's, not cis-men's, as well as the fact that that does not make women worse than men, it just makes us different.
@@beardiemom I know there are differences(I guess I should have clarified), but it’s not enough to cause the kind of uproar transphobes commit to, even if trans women were more comparable to cis men(which, like you said, they aren’t). I hope that makes sense and thanks for the comment. I didn’t know much about the differences(just that it’s not as huge as people think) so this was very informative.
@@gaxalee7392 11% is actually quite a big differences, but because of that, there are criteria that a trans-athlete has to meet to compete, like being on HRT for 12 months prior to competing, which I'd say is fair, as the evidence suggests that to be a sufficient time to create an equal playing field.
@@gaxalee7392 To give a quick answer about the athletic thing, it IS a big topic and I am terribly sad and frustrated that we always either avoid that debate completely or give transphobic answers to it (while not solving anything). I am a cis woman competing in a strength sport (olympic weightlifting), and I cannot ignore male / female real differences : Just to give you a (very) rough idea, the sport has weight categories and you have to complete two lifts as heavy as possible. Men's "total" (sum of both lifts) record in -55kg category is : 294 kgs. Women's total record in -55kg is 227 kg. A 70kg difference. Of course this is a big approximation since -55kg male category is not the most competitive while women's -55 is among the most competitive in that gender, so the actual difference in strength for a same bodyweight is HUGE
And just to clarify why I am interested in this topic : I am very supportive of trans people and tired of seeing idiots not even discussing actual fairness in sport or any science backing the trans discrimination in sport but instead commenting on every performance made by a trans woman "YeAh WeLl ThIs iS a dUdE nOt a WoMaN". I would really like to see a smart conversation about this, backed with scientific evidence. And in my sport, people use Laurel Hubbard (trans woman from NZ competing in top-level and the Olympics) as an example of why it is unfair because she has transitioned late and lost very little of her strength since she competed in the male category before that, therefore now she is sweeping all national titles, records, and the ticket to the Olympics - and this completely eclipses the debate
I had a friend in 5th grade who destroyed all the boys in gym class. A misogynist sub we had once forced her to sit out because she was doing so well. Being male doesn't automatically mean you're superior at sports.
That's generally the case, though.
In average it means that though.
And in 5th grade you might not have gone through puberty yet.
Plus she might be the best now, but even if she's the best women in the world, then in mosts sports, she will still be only placing in lower ranks as soon as men start competing with her.
@@hannahwinterhalder741 Those are bold words not supported by evidence. There are already cisgender adult women in sports who are much taller, stronger or even have naturally greater amounts of testosterone in their blood than most of the other cis competitors in the same category as them. Should they also be considered to have an unfair advantage and forced to compete with men?
@Pandora Box Well they have an advantage an there are competitions where they are forced to take medicaments to lower their testosteron, so they can participate.
And it's all supported by evidence look at how fa's women run and then at men's sport they are faster.
I mean the fastest/strongest/fastest jumping human is always a man.
It's a well known scientific fact that men are biological stronger.
Or do you think that all women are just lazy and all men just work out more?
Where do you think the difference comes from?
Yes. Yes it does. That's exactly what it means. Lia Thomas proved it.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Jamie for being here? He played a major role in accepting myself and I think it goes the same for many others.

@@niko3993 she actually recently came out as bi to me! Now we're a queer duo 😂
gender specifications in sports in general confuse me. like.... why are women and men split up??? why not split people up by physique, weight, and height? Like, I know some cis men that are fucking jacked, but I also know some cis men who I could snap in half like a twig and Im only 4'10. Having someone like me, who is that short, competing against someone that's, like, 6'2 and incredibly fit wouldn't be fair to me personally! Compared to the average person in general, I have to take about 3 steps for every one step they take just while walking. It doesnt matter if theyre cis or trans, if they are much taller than me, they will surpass me. yknow what i mean?
and if people make the argument "but having women in men's locker rooms means men will get distracted!!! Men will act creepy!!! then 1) thats literally judging all men. 2) thats treating women like some "things" that people just wanna look at. stfu. 3) if they are creepy, thats their own issue and they need to be reported immediately. thats unprofessional and they should not be allowed to act that way if they actually wanna go into the professional realm.

They’re so offensive even to people who are on their side, it’s ridiculous. 🙄
Its so cool that you have a PhD in these studies. I really appreciate your content because you have very educated, peer reviewed information and sources (unlike the transphobic videos). Thank you !!
Transphobe: But mah freedum!
Transgender people: What about our freedom?
Transphobe: You have the freedom to live as the gender you were assigned at birth and marrying someone of the opposite sex. Stop complaining!
Exactly. "You have the freedom to live the way we think you should" isn't exactly freedom, especially when that "way we think you should" goes against science and all current medical advice, and will literally cost lives. How is that freedom? It's like telling someone with a serious medical condition they have the "freedom" to be treated by leeches and nothing else, because some people don't believe in modern medicine. Crazy.

im 99% sure that a trans woman wouldn't choose to change in front of cis women due to the fear of being hurt by transphobes. im a cis woman and im not comfortable changing in front of cis woman. most locker rooms have stalled toilets as well.

@@artvulture456 maybe it's the connotation I protest to but
I don't feel being "prude" and being uncomfortable with revealing oneself around strangers like that are not exactly equivalent. You're all good and dandy in my book.
In middle and high school, I was 20 lbs lighter than most of my classmates, if not lighter so, and I usually had to wait until the locker room was nearly empty before I could change in and out of my gymsuit. And I'm not even transgender. It's appalling how hyper-Falwellian cults like the Alliance Propagating Repression use fear and panic to trick their supporters into blaming it all on transgenders for problems they didn't bring about.

heres a fun fact i found recently: homosexual was never in the bible! being lgbtq is not regarded as a sin!! it was added in like 1800 by american printing companies
Jesus was also explicitly fine with homosexuality in the original Greek. The Roman soldier who asked Jesus to heal his slave is a pretty commonly brought up story, but the fact that the word the soldier used translated basically as "male lover" until English scrapped that nuance gets overlooked. Similarly, the "men shall not lie with men" thing from the Old Testament was originally "men should not lie with boys"; it was denouncing pedophilia, not homosexuality.
@@toastghost9145 THIS
I’m pretty sure the original word translated to pedophillia, but I’m not sure.
@@toastghost9145
yesss. as a pan, non-binary Christian myself i wish this stuff was more known. people using the name of my faith to hurt my fellow lgbtq+ community and spreading all this hatred is so upsetting... :/
Yes I found this out recently too!
I was told by my friend I've known for about 7 years who used to be extremely stereotypically Christian; she wasn't against LGBT+ people, but wasn't exactly super supportive either. Recently she moved out of her emotionally manipulative parents house, realised that the church group she used to attend was actually a cult, and has come out as gay!
I've been really transphobic for pretty much my whole life, but when my best friend came out as trans, it challenged everything I'd assumed about gender, sexuality, and the LGBT+ community as a whole. Somehow, I'd lived my life without ever bothering to think that LGBT+ people are human beings with feelings, only viewing them as... I don't even know. Caricatures, maybe? Not gonna lie, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get rid of my old transphobic biases and use my best friend's new pronouns, and it still kind of hurts my brain to try and think about these issues in a completely new light, but videos like these are helping me a lot. I always used to assume that trans people were loud and unreasonable and willingly chose to ignore science, but seeing people like Jamie calmly and rationally cite scientific studies to debunk transphobic claims... just wow. It's really bizarre looking back and remembering just how sure I was that I was right about everything, and I feel ashamed knowing that just a few months ago, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with that ad.
It's never too late to change for the better.
Glad you're learning :)
The best time to start learning to be better is 10 years ago. The next best time is today! You're doing great. Good job overcoming your initial biases.
I was the same way for a long time. However the more you interact with them and the more you learn about it the less transphobic you become, I am non-binary and even I still have some transphobia because that’s how I lived for so long, it’s a natural but slow progression
People like you are what we need in society. I'm glad you found your way out of the transphobia, and much love ❤❤
She literally says they're going to put kids in a home with no parents and show a picture of a child by themself looking sad omg lmfao

It's even the simple act of transgenderism. It's the connotations that come with it, which are all degenerate and ungodly. The sexualisation of children, the satanic rituals that come with the LGBTQ community, the disgusting and cruel protests they do which promote these degenerate acts....
It's not up to me to judge. But I can say with utmost certainty that God will condemn those were partake in these satanic and ungodly things. They are disgusting.

Hi, I’m a woman , and I’ve never been negatively affected by a trans person solely because they were trans :D thanks
Just gonna make a quick suggestion before someone says it aggressively or a transphobe tries to use your phrasing as an argument, *cis* woman
I’m a cis girl supportive of trans folks too, and sorry if it seems like I’m being nit-picky or mean, I just wanna make the clarification that we’re all woman, just cis or trans
Again, sorry for being that guy-
"should she give up her privacy in the locker room?" ma'am, you're the only one invading people's privacy
Yep also your pfp is cool
*thank you*
Since when is there any privacy in a locker room? If schools cared about privacy, they wouldn’t expect teenagers to change gym clothes in front of other teenagers at all.
Also, when people say stuff like that, or about trans women in women's bathrooms, do they not realise that it's probably 100x more uncomfortable for the transwoman?
The issue is men who pose as transwomen. And it is not good for the trans community to abandon women on such topics since many of them have supported the trans community for decades...so this is likely going to backfire on trans people.
Citing from a book about child development. "The important reason for having children, is to share love and time with the child." That's it nothing about the parents genders or sexual orientation just love your kid.
Too bad that most parents have kids for the exact opposite reason. They just want a scapegoat/servant/trophy to show off to society. "Look, I made this and I even beat it into obedience for your convenience! Am I a good person now?"
There are tons of child development books, so what book is that? It sounds like the best reason for having children!
@@cerberaodollam Young adults just want to have sex, and some people are against abortions/contraception. Young adults don't always think about the consequences of their actions.

@@annachase6036 not literally every, but a 40 yo is more likely to think of the consequences.
I personally was made uncomfortable by a trans guy in the wrong locker room. Because I think if he identified as male he is. He should get out of the girls locker room and go to the right one. And my school has no excuse for not knowing he's trans. He was 18 years old and they still used his dead name and like he even grew a beard. Like no excuse at all. It made many girls uncomfortable.

For a sec I thought u were being transphobic but then I reread it
I really like how Jamie puts his sources in the corner, it makes it far easier for people like me to find reliable articles
when she talked about the shelters, i got actually sick. those (cis) women are victims of sex trafficking and domestic violence, she says. this lady should ask herself why a trans woman would be there. is it because she just wants to... harass them? why would a trans woman be in that shelter if she hadn't been through something just as bad?? they legit don't use their heads... ugh
the implications that trans woman are in woman's places just to harass them is aweful, if a man (since they believe trans woma are man) wants to harass woman they wouldn't participate in female sports, and go to shelters ??
Exactly. Trans people are also vulnerable to hate crimes. What if she’s there for that reason?

and how there is so much more to chromosomes than just xx and xy. Chromosomal gender, identified gender, sexual gender, and hormonal gender are all different things believe it or not.
Chromosomal gender is the gender your chromosomes apply to. Identified gender is the gender people identify as. Sexual gender is the gender of your body parts. Finally, hormonal gender is a whole fucking can of worms on its own.

I hate when people say “So you’re saying I don’t have the rights to practice my religion?!” You do, but you’re forgetting that almost all religions have a golden rule. Basically saying “Treat other how you want to be treated” so if you want to have rights then treat other people like they should have rights
This people forget that others have rights too.
Those people mostly adhere to Fire and Brimstone teaching. They want to opress people with their religous views becasue they think they're in the right. Then if anyone threatens that view then your an enemy in their eyes.
I respect people who are religious, I don’t respect people who use their religion as an excuse. I would never force someone to not be in a religion, J just point out some inconsistencies when people like this say stupid things like this that are false
Also these people try to force their religious views on other people, then when told they can't, suddenly they don't have religious freedom. While still going to their church. But of course, only THEIR freedom matters

Well, with one exception: it helps not overestimate people's intelligence or knowledge. Religious presence shows that people are really fucking stupid and uninformed and we should expect really stupid decisions and not overestimate people's intelligence or knowledge.

HOLLY FIRST MINUTE!!!!! i am trans and this has helped me through a lot in life, it helped me accept myself and i hope it has helped you as well!
remember, even when life feels terrible, there are people like you out there
When I was in a play, we obviously had dressing rooms to change into our costumes. I had a trans girl in the spot right next to me in the dressing room and she was probably the nicest person I've ever met. She sometimes even needed me to help her zip up her dress because it kept getting caught on her mic. Clearly, nothing bad happened because there was a trans girl in a girl's dressing room. In fact, I didn't even know she was trans until she told me, and I made a new friend :)
As a person with a single mother, she and I cannot be more happier then ever in fact the only time was feeling bad was when my father tried to get “back into my life” so the idea that people will be sad without two parents a father and mother makes me disappointed 😔
@collars and cuffs can I ask where you got that number from?
@collars and cuffs Thanks but to be clear I don’t think that because they have single mothers it means they have a higher chance of becoming criminals or being sad, I think it stems from deeper issues then just you being raised by a single parent correct me if I’m wrong but it just doesn’t make much sense other then maybe there is abuse and even then not all abuse victims are criminals, or money problems that make them lean on robberies or something a long those lines but being a single mother I think has nothing to do with it after all if you are living comfortably and you and your parent (mother or father) are getting along I don’t see where there is a problem. You might have not meant it the way I’m thinking and if that’s the way I apologize
@collars and cuffs fake (at least in my experience), when my mother and father were together they were total chaos and were fighting each other all the time, then when they separated I stayed with my mother, who, even if was at work a lot of the time, would take care of me, and she educated me in a very inclusive way so I didnt had any gender roles while I was growing up (but I always acted more "boyish" until I was 9 and discovered I was trans lol), this was while my dad was absent a lot, and with a lot I mean that even when he was home he wouldnt talk to me, he was always telling me about his accomplishments and would never care of what I ever did, and when I told him whatever I did in the day he wouldnt care unless it was something I could do for him, he ended up not talking to me when I trashed him for not letting me buy some clothes and when my stepmother told him I identifed as a girl, so Idk, I prefer being raised by a single mother than with a bigot like my dad.
@collars and cuffs correlation does not equal causation. so many other variables play into this sorta thing
@Nikita Hichoii I’m in a similar situation and yes I’m definitely happier without my father in my life the only time I get really sad is when he tries to force me to go to his house again.

I'm getting a binder guys. I can't wait. I literally can't wait...
I think I finally convinced her.
Update: I got it weeks earlier than expected and I love it.
Every time I walk past a mirror I just start grinning, because for the first time in over a decade, I actually feel somewhat comfortable.
What is this sorcery?! XD
I have another update:
I'm currently staying at a psych ward and the therapists there are helping me find a group to speak about trans stuff and also a therapist who specialises in the subject.
Also, also, the head doctor noticed that people at the ward kept calling me a different name and asked me why... he was the first one to ever call me Mr. and I spent the next hour or so grinning like an idiot.
I finally kicked things off... thing can get better... and I don't think I would be in the place I'm at if it weren't for people like Jamie, Samantha Lux or OT...
Things are getting better and I can't believe it.
Edit: Since I'm still getting replies to this, here's another update.
The therapist who I got in touch with ended up basically passing me off to someone else, because I mentioned that I might be somewhere near the nonbinary spectrum (like a demiguy) and apparently she didn't think nonbinary people are valid, so now I'm basically at square one again...
I did however, get a therapist to kinda fill the gap until I can find someone who can help me with my transition, whohappens to share an office with someone who has that qualification, so if I'm lucky, the next spot that they have open up, could potentially be mine, since they work so closely together, and man, do I need that spot.
Like, yeah... so do a lot of other people, but I've been waiting for so long and my anxiety and dysphoria have gotten to a point that I just can't take it anymore...
Omg congratulations!!! 💕🎉
That's awesome! Good for you!💕
Omg congrats!!
WELL DONE!!! 💖
*YUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS*
After watching this ad I (as a possibly trans-women) seriously was considering suicide as better option opposed to living in a world that treats me the way the advertisement did.
*Thank you, Jammie, for being the voice of reason and support*
i hope you are doing well now (:
I'm sorry that's happening to you. As a trans man, transphobia is TERRIBLE. I hope your better now and in a supportive environment :)
I saw this ad tagged on to the end of one of One Topic's videos, I was so angry, not just at the fact this ad is just pure ignorant hate speech but also that it was put onto a channel that supports and loves everyone for who they are.
Love how the "without both a mother and a father" part instead of taking away one parent and replacing it with another of the same gender it just takes away both parents
_its nerf or nothing ig_
this made me wheeze, thank you
It's nerf or nothing made me cough harder then general grievous with a cold
The discomfiting thing is, when you're a baby feminist, it's far too easy to swallow the types of points made at the beginning of the video, especially when the person doesn't bother qualifying the "men" as "identifying as women". Someone saying "allowing men into women's spaces is dangerous and shouldn't be allowed" sounds reasonable, until you find out later that the person who said it is a raging transphobe and was actually talking about trans women.
And the points about "men" invading women's sports also sound valid if you're a female athlete that has witnessed the transformations of her peers firsthand, where young girls have faster average speeds than young boys, but teenage boys have faster average speeds than teenage girls!
I'm endlessly grateful for channels like this over the years that have helped me unlearn the shitty "feminist" ideas I picked up as I grew up, because the line between fact and conjecture can be hard to see if you're only just learning how to Think about the world.
What helps is whenever you find a piece of information that "backs up" bigotry, try to trace it back to the original source.
If there is none, then it's not based on science, and if there is, odds are it was horribly misinterpreted, often on purpose.
yes - but then you grow up
@@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195 exactly! but it's still important to have people out there pointing out bigotted rhetoric and dogwhistles so you don't grow up with the same Yikes opinions you started with
I'm a christian, and I'm bi. Just because I'm religious I don't think its an exception to be lgbt+ phobic. I'm so sorry for all the trans, gay ect. people who are getting excluded by other people who are Christians. I love being in this community and I have lots of trans friends. Jamie is one of my favorite youtubers. Thanks for making this video!
