    The beard didn't go away, Lee inherited it. See? Everyone is getting what they want! Jordan gets to be the person she's always wanted to be, and the fans still get their beard fix!

      +ThatAussieGirl try not to engage the troll. They feed off of the hate and negativity given to them. It stems from being ignored as a child, mommy and daddy not giving them enough attention.
      Reporting an account, unfortunately, does nothing but give them pleasure, as the account is nothing but a throwaway account. Whenever I see these troll posts, I just feel sorry for them. You should too, they deserve nothing but our pity, most certainly not our attention.
      Instead of reporting or responding, do what they hate the most: give a positive comment a response. At the most, only share with the trolls the fact that you pity them.

    • @VistasClemency
      @VistasClemency 8 лет назад +1

      +ThatAussieGirl it's a psychological effect. They don't KNOW that the reason is parental neglect, all they see is "Oh! Someone's paying attention to me! Let's see why... Oh, it's because I disagreed with them in a childish manner and used vulgar language! Imma do that ALL the time now!" *end dramatic reenactment*

      +TheFinal Banter Sexuality has nothing to do with gender identity, first off. Second, even if the concept of being trans doesn't make sense to you and you can't wrap your head around it, you have to be a special kind of awful to tell people to kill themselves for doing something that makes them happier and more satisfied with their life. I don't understand gardening, but I'm not going to tell people to kill themselves for spending hours every week tending their floral displays. In a roundabout way I'm basically telling you that most people are happy for people who make a life change that makes them happier, so you're in the minority, and you're not going to just convert people to being cruel.

    • @elenawilliams32
      @elenawilliams32 8 лет назад +3

      +TheFinal Banter please go to primary school and learn how to write and spell English. Your lack of education and ignorance in general is telling. I'd bet you don't have parents that tell you they're proud of you and that they love you. All that hate and venom you spit comes from a very damaged boy. You're quite sad, I hope you get over what's made you so hateful and bitter. Good luck.😆

She is a comedian after all, and though there are a lot of terrible reasons to cross-dress for the sake of comedy, there are a few acceptable ones as well.

    Now that I've seen this I want to make a few corrections:
    "Let her do what she wants. Who cares anyways. She's awesome"

    Six years ago...I saw the video
    I'm mostly commenting because...It's been a huge influence. Not to myself personally, I'm cisgendered and haven't felt otherwise, However Jordan was the first person I've personally had come out as trans.
    It wasn't that big of a deal of course. Why really should it be? I don't know her personally. She makes content I enjoy. That's it.
    But...It did open my eyes to the transgender issue for so many others.
    But I have had friends and even family come out since then. And thankfully...because of Jordan and her own coming out. It was never something I had to think twice about.
    Transgender people are their gender of specification. Plain and Simple.
    Thank you Jordan, even now. You may not realize it but your bravery has helped so many people in ways you may never have imagined.

    Jordan - I've been an on and off fan of Axis of Awesome since Rage of Thrones (I feel your pain, sister). I've been away from the channel for a bit, this was surprising news. I think you show great courage and grace. I know it's silly because I don't really know you, but I'm proud of you! And I'm excited to watch you grow, and offer what support I can as fan during your transition. No pressure - but the community needs an ambassador like you. Funny, smart, takes no shit! Wishing you well from Michigan. :)

    Some of the beardles pictures made me wonder if you were gay, last year.
    It's great that you found the courage to stand up and just be yourself! :)
    I doesn't really make a difference to me. Your still the same person with the same ideas, your just more comfortable with yourself and that's good!
    Keep it rocking guys, I knew Benny and Lee are great people, nice of you guys being so supportive. :)
    Stay strong Jordan, there's no reason why not to. :D

      Do hormones do alot even when you're an adult though? I kinda though they only worked (for changing appearance and stuff) when you were still growing. I admit I know basically nothing about how transitioning works though.

      oh no they affect so much. Skin quality, fat distribution, muscle density, body hair, breast growth... There are a bunch of things that get set during puberty like the size of your bones but lots and lots of things change with hormones.
