@@backgroundchan2984 Cis isn't an identity, it's an adjective. And your argument is an old one - when I was a kid, they were saying "I'm not STRAIGHT, I'm NORMAL". Straight people didn't identify that way because they saw themselves as the default that didn't even need to be labelled, and everyone else was a freakish variation. But they got used to the idea that people not like them *are* normal, and now use the label "straight" without worry. Then, as now, it's not really the word you find insulting. It's the fact that it decentres you as the norm and standard by which all others are judged.
No no no, the definition was roughly 'have birthed a child or are capable of doing so in the future' and that means that post-menopausal people are still women, because of course every woman must have had a child before then. /s
Those same people might think my mom isn’t a real woman because she had a c-section. I’m “lucky number eight” but I’m an only child. It’s so strange to me that some people assume that all women can just pop out a baby no problem.
@@starparodier91 oh my mom is like the most trans cis person now then, she has pcos, only had a c section and adoption and had to take estrogen because of her pcos when she was trying to get pregnant

I love the "we can always tell" kind of people.....then there is someone like Jamie who's been on T for long enough that if you saw him randomly on the street and didn't know he was trans you would literally have no idea.
THIS! and at the same time, some cis women have been harassed in public bathrooms or other places because they're muscular, taller than average or whatever.
@@Le_Inke Especially if they’re WOC! Women of color are disproportionately affected by bathroom checking, which is awful, because woc already face so many issues.
@Just a Transperson. Technically they are right. He will never be a real woman……and that’s a good thing. Because why would he be a woman if he’s a man……I feel like I might make someone have a stroke while reading this. 🤦♀️ For better clarity. He’s a man. So he will stay a man. As I am a women. Even though I don’t look like one.
I think the "we can always tell" is more towards Trans women. A sharper jawline and face structure that is associated with men. Although some cis women have that too. But if a trans guy has a beard and short hair no one will question it
Imagine finding meaning to your life only by making a marginalised minority feel like sh*t. If their actions weren’t so harmful, I’d feel really freaking sorry for them.
When trans rights are solidified in history and they realise they were on the wrong side of history they are going to be very miserable creatures indeed
I was reminded of something my friend once said to me, Trans people have supported so many others in their fights for equality over the years, but now that Trans people are being heavily targeted to many of those same people are willing to leave us out to dry because of the "its your turn to go through what we did" mentality it just makes me sad 😥
Yep. Definitely a huge case of "Screw you, I got what I wanted, why should I stick my neck out for you ? You were the one dumb enough to take risks for me."
If a bad enough injury can screw up which of your gender definitions somebody fits, then your definitions are screwed. Someone's gender shouldn't be negated from losing everything below the waist from a bad enough car crash.
Or even a life saving surgery. In rare but still extant cases it is necessary to perform a radical surgical procedure called a hemicorporectomy, in which all bodily material below the hips is removed and vital systems are rerouted, in order to save someone's life. Even thinking less radically procedures like orchiectomy, prostatectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, mastectomy, and even in some cases penectomy are all still used to treat various cancers. Something like that is a traumatic enough experience without a bunch of idiots telling you that you're no longer a woman because you had the gall to survive and seek proper medical treatment.
or even just…a medical condition that’s really more common than everyone thinks it is. both endometriosis and PCOS can mess with fertility - it can get really bad. Endo treatment can include a hysterectomy. PCOS can cause higher testosterone levels, with effects like more hair growth, particularly facial hair growth (i believe there might be some discussion about maybe classing PCOS as an intersex condition, because of the various effects it can have on what we typically use to define sex, because our definition of sex is also incredibly damn flawed). or even…cancer. cancer can mess with their definition of gender. why? well, breast cancer can necessitate the removal of breasts (and then, shock horror, cis women may desire gender affirming care after a mastectomy), and other cancers (ovarian, uterine, cervical etc.) can necessitate removal of sex organs. i think the real thing is that they’re just a massive bunch of hypocrites
Or military service. The reconstructive procedures normally associated with gender affirming care were originally developed to help cisgender people, like military veterans and cancer patients, who had lost those parts.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 My grandma had cancer in her uterus and they decided to take the whole thing out. According to them she is no longer a woman. Which is just screwed up
Not only were there just 12 people at the protest, but half of them were too embarrassed to even show their face because they knew deep down that they were wrong.
@@HumbleWooperThis just reminds me of that one guy who dressed as Jesus and stood in front of an anti-gay protest with a sign that said “I’m not with these people”
Except if it's your body or your partner, why caring about what's in someone's underwear or pants, or what's inside is used ? Seriously, why caring so much you decide to not give rights to people for things not related to you
Right??? I can guarantee these same people asking others what's in their pants and such would be suuuuper offended if someone told them they needed to disrobe to prove they were their outward gender before getting medical assistance or using a damn bathroom. Ridiculous. I can understand not being sexually/romantically attracted to trans people, but that is no excuse to go asking random strangers who you have no interest in about their genitals or their genetics.
Yes! They're all "think of the children" while also being obsessed over what's inside everyone's pants. Yeah, it's not the trans folk or the drag queens we need to keep an eye on, mister... 👀
I had massive, complex ovarian cysts at age 26, many surgeries, lost my fertility, and could not adopt due to unrelated poor health; few things personally sting and anger me more than transphobes who insist that procreation defines a woman and gages or value. As much as that attitude hurts me… I wonder how much harder is it for the trans community. Trans women ARE women, and infertile women are, too!!
You are definitely a woman, don't let any transphobe tell you otherwise. It sucks when we get told that we have to have children, and it is not true at all. I hope you find your own happiness.
You’re not just a woman. You’re a human being. Just like all of us. Which means that like everyone. Deserves respect and kindness. I feel like a lot of people lost sight in the fact that at the end of the day. We are all part of the same species. Hopefully you feel better. And don’t forget. Most of us in this community are here to support you. 🥰👍
@@shadowking278 I am not sure if transphobes, racists, slave owners, … are human beings. They might have been assigned that species at birth but their behaviour does not match human beings any more. Maybe they changed not just their behaviour but also their species to bellend?
I recently got a reply on a comment I made just after I first got approved for HRT that just said, and I quote verbatim: "Don't do it..." That was literally it. The entire thing. No threats of hellfire, no warnings of medical disaster, not even the dysphoria version of telling a depressed person "Have you tried not being sad?" Just "No, please, don't." They didn't even notice that the comment they responded to is two months old. That ship has sailed darling. I've put an end to my testosterone poisoning, I'm already planning my rebirthday party for next February, and all you lovely people are invited. To paraphrase a recently indicted former POTUS,. The transphobes aren't sending their best. Or maybe they are, in which case they're extremely doomed.
How in the heck were they imagining you'd respond to that? "Ooooh, okay then, I won't - thanks so much for Showing Me The Way!" ?? People with more self-belief than brains are WEIRD sometimes..!
"humans have the innate capacity to discern between the sexes" Mate, I've been miss-gendered more times than i can remember and i'm just a cis-dude with long hair, your argument is invalid
I'm a cis woman who doesn't wear makeup and has a lower-register voice, and I get misgendered all the time! Luckily, I don't particularly mind, but that statement legit made me snort laugh.
Lmao so true, happened to me as well more times than one would think. And I was just a little girl with a more serious looking face and short hair. Can't fathom there are still people who think my mom has two sons :')
Heck. I was walking my dog once and it was raining. So I had an umbrella. And I passed by this guy. And I said hi to him. He literally said “hello miss.” I had stubble and was nowhere near feminine. This only thing feminine about me at that point was my voice. Okay thinking back on that now I just got a rush of euphoria. I already know I’m a trans woman.
i’ve been misgendered loads as well (i’m enby, it happens all the time) but no one can figure out which direction to misgender me in. it’s pretty much an even split when it comes to random strangers as to whether they’ll use masculine or feminine pronouns to misgender me, whether they’ll scream i’ll never be a real man or a woman (both are true), or that they can tell i have whatever chromosomes. i’ve also had people tell me i don’t have periods when i was arguing trans women can call the hormonal cycles they get periods (the cycle of hormones is what causes a period in AFAB people, and in trans fem people on HRT it can produce basically every symptom other than the bleeding) and…i have a uterus. i have ovaries. i have a cervix. they all do stuff, and that includes bleeding very violently every month
I find all this hate and transphobia so extremely scary. And I'm a cis woman! I can't imagine how horrifying it must be out there for trans people these days, and I'm so sorry for anyone feeling scared or unsafe because of these loud, hateful and ignorant transphobes. The end of this video was really nice to see. ❤ Hang in there, I really hope for better days very soon! ❤
I'm from the US and watching the absolute bullshit so many states are trying to pass restricting gender affirming care, trans kids in sports, drag shows, saying 'gay' in schools, etc. is just so disheartening. I have a lot of LGBT friends and to know that there are some places in this country that don't want them to exist is honestly so terrifying and depressing. Times are dark here, but I'm hoping we'll get passed them one day.
It's not just America, Uganda recently recriminalised identifying as gay. It is illegal to be gay in over 70 countries and carries the death penalty in 6 or 7.
Considering that anyone that has declared themselves a woman, be that in conversation or on a form, has self-IDed, it follows that the only women are those with no capacity for communication. However, if a person can't communicate, they can't confirm their gender status, and, if they gain the capacity to confirm their gender, they're not women if they confirm they are. Hence, we can draw the conclusion that *no* women can *ever* be confirmed to exist.
Well, you are not a woman just because you THINK you are one. You are a woman because you have female sex chromosomes, organs, bones... Just like Jamie is a female too. "Cis" woman - who are the not "cis" women - oh right, males. And we have an already existing label for them - MEN.
I would like to apologize to everyone for the nebraska woman who tried to sue all queer people She does not represent us -the other like 4 people in nebraska
@Shattered Knight no yeah its legit it got slapped down but Sylvia Driskell age 66 of Omaha Nebraska tried to sue all queer people for disobeying god, obviously no lawyer would help so she tried to do it herself
It’s ok boo. I have idiots in my own family that I cannot get far enough away from. One even regifted Trump merchandise to me for Christmas. The rampant irony is that I’m Buddhist so, it’s just weird. My gran was from Nebraska and she was a wonderful, brassy, sharp, LGBTQ supporter who loved us all like crazy. She was amazing. ❤
Jamie, I don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say that I am recently 1 full year on T, and I've had referrals put in to get my surgeries done. I will be getting top surgery next year some time. And I wanted to say thank you, because you have taught me so much about myself and the community, and you've also taught me how to laugh at the transphobes rather then be hurt by them anymore. So thank you so much. I don't think I would have gotten as far as I have if it weren't for you. ❤️
Bruh the one about women have to be able to give birth.. yikessss. I have several cis female friends who cannot give birth due to health concerns and hearing that people want to say 'You're not a woman cause you can't birth.' The emotional impact of that on some folks could be really bad.
Well I'm not super knowledgeable on the conditions of the LGBTQ Alliance, but the asexuals, after overthrowing Denmark, would likely send aid to the trans community when the 5th grade biologists come a-knocking
@@KomaedasOneTrueHope they meant to say that transphobes like to cite biology when their knowledge of it doesn’t go beyond what is taught in grade school.
I know quite a few cis women with prominent Adam's apples. And as a cis guy whose weight goes up and down, for a couple of months after christmas mine isn't particularly easy to see. But terfs being painfully wrong is hardly surprising...
Dame Maggie Smith has always had a visible Adam's apple and I can't imagine anyone asserting that she's male. Special note: To see her Adam's apple, watch the Agatha Christie movie Death On The Nile where she's walking along the side of the ship following Bette Davis during a heated discussion. It's quite evident

@@professorfoxtrot it is only to humans that I say cis. Why? Because you can't actually transition to a cat. And trying to say you can is disrespectful to actual trans people. And cis is also a very old adjective/prefix along with prefix/adjective of trans. And yes, trans animals do naturally exist. Frogs can change their sex (I dunno how and quite frankly I don't wanna know) also, as far as I know, cats and dogs can't transition to another sex they are firm set. Unlike some other animals
@@queersoapybar Saying that you can't transition from species is transzoophobic. It is disrespectful to our furry friends who identify as other species, and therefore we must prioritize their feelings. Transitioning between species is equally as valid as transitioning through sexes or transitioning through ages. For example, Michael Jackson really was a child trapped in a man's body. Who are we to say? Medical science is just an option. The only thing that matters is subjective diagnosis.
10:19 Yes! Someone was trying to argue with me in a RUclips comment section recently saying “are women and trans women the same?” And I’m like ??? Clearly they meant “cis women and trans women,” but the fact that they worded it that way was already so telling.
I recently went to a protest again Posie Parker's let women speak talk in Perth, and we doubled the people there to support her. Was quite a great time seeing her attempt to speak over our shouting. Edit since someone got confused, yeah I was there to protest Posie Parker. I hate her don't worry :)
Was that the thing where literal nazis showed up to support the terfs, and the terfs were like, "Cool"? As opposed to, you know, pausing to consider that if nazis are on your side, you're on the wrong side.
@@mirandarensberger6919 I think at one of them POSie even said something to the effect of "See, even the Naxis hate you!" completely forgetting which side of the hate equation decent and functional human beings want to be on with relation to Naxis.

I loved the image of the Norwegian Pride parade a few years ago, where there were 4-5 people with anti-LGBT-posters against over 50.000 people in the parade 🤣
Just letting you know that the word your looking for is probably Sympathy, not Empathy- Empathy refers to the ability to recognise certain emotions in others, and you can have low empathy and still support and love people, it just means you might have a hard time fully understand what they're going through. Likewise, you can completely understand what someone is going through and still be complete Scarab food towards them.
I did it! I created a 100% inclusive definition of a woman: A woman is a person who answers "yes" to the question "Are you a woman?" This works for any gender 100% of the time. Problem solved!
@@leunamreyo3663 Lol why do you need convincing? It's gender, relax.

Cool, not being normal is awesome lol And as I've said, 64% agree lol It's not contradictory just because you cry at me
Jaimie ... don't let those "str8t acting" posers get to you. They've always been around. The vast, vast majority of proud gays see you and the massive hatred pointed at the Trans community. And we've got your back! Cuz we know we're next.
Well, Jamie, there may be a few transphobic gay men and women, but I think the rest of us outnumber them. I'm a 67yo cis gay male who had to come out just as the gay lib movement was taking off, and it was strongly supported by trans folk. We shouldn't forget our debts! Good luck to you, and your book!
"Transphobia" does not exist - I really doubt there are people who are afraid of those who hallucinate they can be another sex. "Cis" is an unnecessary label, as of there are other types pf males and females. Can you answer a question please : what is a man?
@@Draco19970125 Dinnae be dafter than you need to be, son. Phobia doesn't just mean being scared of, it also means feeling repulsed by or feeling hatred towards. And cis is a label that's long been in use, and is helpful when talking about trans issues. Grow up and be a man.
@@Leszek.Rzepecki english is not my native language so I did not really understand the first the words. Phobia - an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. And who feels the latter? Simply disagreeing with this ideology, with the idea that we can change our sex is not aversion/fear/hatred. Cis was not long in use - it came wirh the trans ideology. Why should we label the 99% of the people, just to please a minority? Your logic is like lets call us as "full fingered persons" - so we "recognize" those who have less fingers. What are the "trans" issues exactly, especially in America? Grow up and try to find your sanity.
@@amandajay666 trans women are not women. they don’t have the same parts, same organs, and they never will, it’s physically impossible. yeah you might be able to have surgery to have female genitalia, but they won’t face the same issues as women, feelings, or thoughts.
as someone who is bi, trans, and ace, I fit the trifecta of "in the lgbt+ community, but not accepted by everyone in said community" luckily I personally don't have much of a presence online, so, I haven't experienced too much of nasty people within the community. Over half my friends are some kinda trans, and if you don't like certain parts of the community, part of it or not, you do not belong in the positive safe space we are trying to create.
Pan and aroace here! Also Jewish, though that's not entirely the same- being religious in queer spaces can be pretty scary. I don't blame anyone for their religious trauma, but my religion feels right to me and having people call me a traitor for it, well...
I don't share any of your prefixes, but I accept and support you anyways! Of all people, those in the LGBT+ community should really understand what it's like to be excluded for parts of you that you can't control.
@@SpringStarFangirl I have a question for you. Maybe I've fallen behind on the correct terms, but last I knew, aro=aromantic, as in not interested in a personal relationship beyond friends, and ace=asexual, as in not interested in a sexual relationship in pretty much any way. And Pan either=pansexual, as in sexually attracted regardless of gender, or =panromantic, as in interested in a romantic relationship regardless of gender. As far as I know panromantic and aromantic are opposites on the spectrum, as are pansexual and asexual. You could be pansexual and aromantic, or asexual and panromantic. But how can you also be Pan anything if you're aromantic and asexual? Unless you use aro/ace because it's easier than using gray or demi or any of the more specific aro/ace categories? I'm legitimately confused, not meaning anything hurtful.
I love buying my cat dreamies they are his favourite treat and I go out of my way to pick the pride ones rather than the none pride ones when I see them, coz it will help support the community ♡ I cannot believe someone is annoyed at cat treats Edit - I went to my first local trans pride last year (I have been out over 10 years.) It was amazing to see how much love and support my town has for trans people, when I first came out there was only 5 of us (we literally all knew eachother) it blow my mind to see so many trans/enby people all in one place, well over 300 people turned up to our first pride. Even though I have known afew trans people since I came out , it was amazing to meet so many other people like me. I'm nearly 30 now but the age range was from about 7 to 80+ (parents bring their trans kids of 7 or 8ish and people bringing their trans parents or grandparents and trans people of all ages between) it was amazing and I cannot wait to go again. I love going to gay pride and I cant wait to go with my family this year but trans pride holds a special place in my heart, I never felt so accepted and safe haha There was one transphob who made a comment about the situation "being disturbing" while walking past and then the closest people ( about 15 people) started waving flags and showing off their transness (ladies shaking boobies and guys showing chests) and the phob sheepishly left the way they came haha. It's weird and wonderful and I love how much support mu community has for eachother and how they support each other. Anyways ....

I once attended a pride parade, which wasn't that big itself, where the "anti-pride protest" was one single woman with a banner in front of the local church. It quickly became a thing for gay couples to detach from the parade to go take turns kissing in front of her while taking a selfie. Not insulting her or arguing, just pissing her off. It got to a point where it looked like she was going to cry. I kinda felt bad for her, but at the same time, I mean, even with a broken voice she was still standing there yelling at us to repent or burn in hell so yeah, she kinda had it coming

Sometimes I wonder how they'd act if they truly believed Jesus was watching them/with them/ due to come back soon. Their precious book details him performing amazing, brave acts for those who could not defend themselves or who needed their voices to be taken seriously. He led with patience and kindness. I wish I could ask her, on which side of the fence would he stand on? The one who asks for some basic humanity, or the one who defiantly screams their hate/insists on making godly judgements on God's behalf? It's disgusting to see them use a false, twisted version of religion as a defense to be cruel, rather than use it as a guide to spread kindness. Hopefully one day she'll figure it out. It needs to happen like...now. or yesterday. Lol 😂

I love coming to watch your videos because I am struggling to exist around my mother because she's very transphobic and I'm trans ftm. You just make my day and make me feel like I am a valid man:,)
@animeartist888 is right. Stay strong my man. Besides. I know what you’re going through…technically. My parents grew up in the 50s. So you can already tell their views on the LGBT community. Which is horrible because I’m gay. And as of a couple weeks ago a trans woman. So I’ve had to hide a lot of stuff from them. But I also have some siblings that are in the LGBT community. Also I’m definitely going to be getting an “I told you so.” From my niece. She was the first person to possibly figure out I was trans. Even before me.
"A woman is defined as having the ability to have a child." Well, my trans male friend is about 7 months pregnant and he's certainly not a woman. (Also his pregnancy photos are everything
You do know that only women have a uterus and ovaries? If i imagine myself as an attack helicopter i dont get the ability to fly. “I cant believe my male freind is giving birth” does that sound right to you?
The transphobes love to exclude infertile cis women from the definition. I have PCOS I haven't had a period in over a decade and even when I did have periods I wasn't actually able to have a child. So I guess I'm not a woman anymore. 🤷
I gotta say, as a queer trans man, since joining Grindr I've had chasers but no one bashing my body for not being "male". So much better than I feared.
Growing up thinking I was a gay boy I was actually exposed to trans men in a sexial light before trans women. When you're looking to satisfy a certain natural urge of that nature you eventually find that there is a surprising amount of MSM adult material both made by and staring trans men, and it's actually far easier to find stuff that isn't objectifying and dehumanizing featuring trans men then it is to find similar stuff featuring trans women. Overall I'd venture that the gay male community is probably more accepting of a guy with a V than the lesbian community is of a girl with a D, and both are more accepting than the cishet community is of either of the aforementioned. Makes things hard for a girl who's realizing she's leaning hetero.
My dad in response to a discussion about non-binary kids: "I used to think I was when I was younger, but then I became an adult and overcome it" I think he needs to figure something out about himself-

That's not twisting, it's applicability. Surely if you're the least bit honest, you have to recognize that past episode of hatred and discrimination against one group of people can give you insights into insane hatred of another marginalized group today.
My mom was watching a documentary about an early human who was buried with a fighting spear and they were trying to see if the skeleton was female. (It likely was) they had looked at a very specific part of a bone in the ear to see if it was female. My mom immediately said, "SEE somthing you can't change with surgery." in a smug voice like if you have to go to the TINY bones in the ears (something that can likely only be done after death) I really don't think it's worth it also how are places supposed to require people to say they're trans? Are they supposed to put a label on themselves that says their chromosomes??? This is not right, and wouldn't be fair for anyone because even cis people who don't "look cis" could get hurt by this.
Most old skeletons had burial rituals denoted to their gender. This helps as a vast majority of those skeletons are unanle to be identified as one gender or another, due to decomposition and the like.
I have always believed falling in love with someone who you're not supposed to be attracted to, just because they were them, was a thing (a straight man falling for a guy but still identify as straight...). Just because life is not about strict rules. Also, attraction to a certain gender can be dissociated from attraction to a certain bodytype : you can be attracted to only one gender but their genitals and whole body are not that important, or fall in love with someone for their personality and they have the bodytype you are confortable with, and turned out their gender is different but you're already in love. And if you are ONLY open about one gender, one kind of genitals and bodytipe and agab, that's okay, but just let everyone else live their relationships how they want to !!!!!
The only time someone's status as cis or trans should really matter is with the premise of an intimate relationship of some sort. Like, if you plan to see this person naked, either because of bedtime fun or because you're just rooming together the ace way, then sure, it's okay to ask. But otherwise? None of your business, weirdo.
Yeah the way we categorize sexuality is so restrictive and cisnormative when it’s a lot more complex than just what genders you are attracted to. But I also think those labels are helpful to many
Yeah, being a part of the LGBTQ+ does sometimes feel like you're closed off from parts because you have to fit a certain narrative. Like, I'm not that big on sex and don't have a six-pack ergo many other gay people will just think I'm not up to their standards. Good job that I put my career before my looks and that I just enjoy life solo at the moment
I'm a cis woman and not only do I get misgendered but I have also been asked if I'm trans, or if I'm a "real woman or...?" because of my facial structure and voice I think but all of it is wildly inappropriate and rude to ask ANYBODY those things like wtf.
Transphobes were also recently outnumbered in protests in Australia! Twice as many pro-trans protesters as anti-trans protesters (even if you count the neo Nazis)! If governments listened to the people then we'd all have far greater equality and rights.
Hey people. So I've recently seen a new "dog whistle" (I think this is the word, I'm not sure). People would say, "The patients/lunatics are running the asylum". These people always turn out to be extremely transphobic and nasty. Stay safe out there.❤
I LOVE the "happy ending" of this video showing the contrast in turnout for the different protests! With the explosion of very vocal transphobia that seems to be happening lately, I think it's such an important reminder that there probably really are more supportive people than not; the transphobes just seem to be quite loud and getting a lot of airtime at the moment. It is exhausting and disheartening though, even if the transphobes are (hopefully) in the minority. I am currently going through cancer treatment, and though I'm in my 20s, I'm being treated at a children's hospital, as my cancer is more typically seen in pediatrics. On a recent trip to the hospital for one of my clinic visits, there were a bunch of anti-trans people holding up signs at the entrance and protesting gender-affirming care for trans youth -- and meanwhile, I'm literally just trying to come to the hospital for life-saving cancer treatment, and here are all these idiots basically saying that people like me shouldn't be here or really even exist. Some of their signs also said stupid things about "child mutilation", etc., which is just ridiculous, and once again, these people as usual just have no idea what they're even talking about, because if they actually did any real research they'd know that surgery isn't even part of gender-related care for children -- and what these people also seem to fail to realize is that, if children do have proper intervention and care at a young age, it will actually help them AVOID surgery or other more invasive procedures down the road in many cases, because they won't need it to un-do the damage from the first puberty that wasn't supposed to happen! Hell, I WISH I'd been able to have access to the kind of treatment these people claim is "child abuse" when I was younger, because it would've made so many things about my life a LOT less painful! Anyway, the whole experience just pissed me off, and made me especially mad that they were spewing all this hate in front of a freaking CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, where kids and young people are coming for all sorts of treatments, many of which are life-or-death situations (like cancer treatment!), yet all they can focus on is their transphobic agenda -- and I'm sure I'm not the only trans patient who had to see that that day. It just makes me upset that these types of people are getting so much attention in the media -- and, yes, that they spend so much of their time literally just being hateful seemingly for the sake of just being hateful and their own stupid hateful agenda. So anyway, I just really appreciated the reminder at the end here about how even though these transphobes seem to be making a lot of ruckus lately, there really are probably far more people who are supportive than not. It's a wonderful reminder to step back sometimes and focus on the positive things like that.
Jamie the symbol is meant to be an X made from chromosomes. I can only recognise it as I remember the chromosome diagrams within my biology books from 1970s
So is this person for Turners Syndrome Pride or something? Cuz there's only one X on that garment. We need a steady stream of people going up to this person and saying, "Thank you for supporting my child/relative with Turners Syndrome!"
If transphobes make you feel unsafe, Operation Blazing Sword (led by a trans woman) can help ensuring your safety! This was my little PSA :) Have a wonderful day, spuds!
I wish you would sometimes explore biphobia, as a bisexual man, in a serious and deep dive way. Because it's so overlooked, and responsible for many deaths in our community, and most people don't even think it exists.
I would love that too! And also more fun things like these videos but making fun of biphobia or bi memes or whatever. Bisexual content is so hard to find!
It does not change the fact that human females have ovaries, womb, and obviously these parts are included in the definition of woman. Hysterectomy or not. It is a harder thing to include biolohical males there.
3:44 I am a cis-woman who has given birth to 3 children. As a approach menopause the transphobic community keeps telling me that soon I will no longer be a woman; as only those who can give birth are still women. This kind of thinking does so much harm to both the the cis-female and trans communities.
I have to pause before the positive ending to share with you the impact trans people have had on me. As a child and young adult I did really see a difference between gender and sesx and it was weird to me how others didn't see the same thing. I came up with my own terms and often spoke of people when sexing them as "that penis person" or "vagina person" and I didn't even know why. I was 14-20 when I did that. No one questioned it. It seemed reasonable to me and my peers, like, just normal terms. Man and woman was seperate from that completely. And then I starter hearing about the trans fuckeduppeness of hate and JK Rowling broke my heart. I'm a cis woman, never wondered about that ever. I just really don't understand what the question is. LET PEOPLE LIVE AND BE and just.. wtf. Love you btw. My bf showed me your channel. He's from a very conservative country and he doesn't get the hate either. Some people are trans. It's not complicated.
I wanted to share this since I feel like everyone here would appreciate it. My dad does not understand being trans. What he does understand is that using the wrong pronouns or not accepting people for what gender they say they are is just wrong. If someone tells him they use they/them or that they are nonbinary, he won’t really understand it but will refer to them as they/them and will call them nonbinary. You don’t need to understand being trans to respect a person’s identity and not understanding it is not an excuse, just ask questions if you need to.
We need more people like him. Nobody has to understand being trans or Nonbinary 100%, but just to respect the terms and pronouns is enough. Even as a nonbinary person myself I don't understand neopronouns like ze/zem or ey/eir, xe/xir, but if someone uses those pronouns I'll give it my best shot to remember. Same with me not understanding those who have xenogenders, fully confused by the concept and even the definition is not enough for me to understand but the individual understanding their identity is enough.
@@Justarandomguy654 They're not delusions though. But lets say if someone was suffering from a mental health condition that caused them to suffer from a delusion, so this person believes that they are being spied on by aliens and are highly paranoid about being abducted by them, why would you not respect that, why would you bully them further? They have a mental condition that they can't control, bullying them and shaming them is only going to make it worse. You are also not a psychologist who could help them, maybe they are seeing one to help them get better. You shouldn't act as a psychologist on a professionals behalf, you'll end up making things worse for the poor individual. People who are trans do not belief that they are the opposite sex, they know that they're trans, gender dysphoria is the disalignment they feel when society perpetrates ideas and roles onto them based on their body part, people wanting others to use different terms for them, such as pronouns can be easily been seen like a peference in a nickname. Some people are trans, some people are Nonbinary, how you can even jump to grand conclusions like "trans being a delusion" is beyond me, its quite a leap and is far from the truth, its disrespectful to trans people and it spreads misinformation about those suffering from actual delusions. Don't talk about delusions if you don't know what a delusion is.
@@neon17.08 what if i genuinely believed that i can fly. Would that be a delusion? What if i believed that i could walk on water, would that be a delusion? But what if i believed i was a girl. Now its accepted and endorsed. People should stop pretending to be something they arent. XX chromosomes means you are a girl. XY chromosomes means you are a boy. Born a boy? Die a man. Born a girl? Die a woman.
Hi Jamie! I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me become more comfortable with myself and I just ordered my first binder two days ago!! I'm so very excited!!!

My mind is blown too. It is hard to believe people can be so obsessed with something that has no impact on them at all. Why is it so hard to just live and let live and be decent human beings? I didn't think decency was a huge ask.
Yes, they are outnumbered. Recent polling shows that 2/3 of Americans support trans rights and gender affirming care. I insist it must be more though because 38% to 48% of voter aged Americans don't vote even in presidential elections (this is our greatest weakness), and we've known for decades that conservatives almost always vote, that means the overwhelming majority of non voters lean left, liberal or egalitarian. Also, less than 30% of Americans were republicans in 2020 (74 million out of 255 million voter aged Americans). _"Given a long enough time line, we win. Guaranteed."_ --Beau if the Fifth Column Bigotry is dying off faster than ever now, and they know it. That's why they're acting so desperate lately. There is no rise in bigotry, these people have always been around, they are just mask off now. I remember when most people were bigoted when I was a child, but I've seen this phenomenon speeding up now for decades. When I was a child, you rarely ever even heard the word transgender. Just saying; humanity is evolving, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.❤🌍🌎🌏
"if you need to self-ID as a woman then you're not a woman" is just such... idiocy! Just shows how little they understand the mental aspects of gender. Yeah, I'm a ciswoman, and I *do* self-ID as a woman.
I don’t understand how they hate using terms like “trans” and “cis” but then go and say trans people are “ignoring biological differences”. Like that’s literally why we differentiate and why we want things like menstrual products to be inclusive lol
Even if one disregards all the general inaccuracy and idiocy of "We can always tell", the transpanic defense is literally an admittence by transphobes that they themselves can't always tell 🙄🔫
Just a reminder to everyone including myself don't forget to eat and drink something today and if you have any meds you need to take please take them. You are loved
Her fleeing the country was the best part, she also said "New Zealand is the worst place for women" like no its not, just because you're a women does not mean we need to listen to your outdated ideology and harm a lot of people (and a significant portion of women would be harmed), we love our trans friends and family and we don't need you ruining that. We also love ourseves to be able to defend our lives and our rights.
@@charliekahn4205 No, but if its to Aotearoa then eh, like New Zealand and Aotearoa are so synonymous now that nobody really would notice. The change has already been happening culturally and socially, but it would help to keep both names on government sites just in case people aren't aware that its the same place.
Question unrelated to the video, is it usually this hard to figure out what places even do gender affirming surgery? because I legitimately managed to find real life surgery photos ON ACCIDENT before actually figuring that out
1. Holy crap, I'm sorry you had to see that without wanting to. 2. I think you can call most facilities or ask workers there if they do gender affirming stuff. That or look up "gender clinics near me" as they usually do that sort of thing.
This is why we never google image search unless we're sure of the results we'll get. Ouch. Sorry about that, friendo. I'd suggest finding a local planned parenthood or other sexual health or LGBT+ aid program, as they usually have at least a recommendation or two if not a straight-out list of all the places/doctors nearby who will do it.
Most gender affirming surgeries are also for non-gender affirming reasons as well... Such as Cis people's genital damages for whatever reason or elective surgeries such as breast implants or the like, just as hormone therapy is also for Cis peoples with hormone imbalances or post hysterectomy patients. Thus, yes, just as many other types of surgeries can be found online, so to can gender affirming surgeries. If one is seeking these photos or videos, they can also be obtained through surgeons who specialize in these types of surgeries.
that leaves the question of well "what exactly are you identifying as" I like the definition of "The gender typically associated with the female sex" because that doesnt really leave room for what is that exactly
But they think that’s avoiding the question even though it’s right. I have to give them a whole essay on how “woman” is an abstract social category that evolved from the category placed on those who appeared to fit what we call the female sex. But it is specifically the language used for and cultural role traditionally associated with the female sex, not the female sex itself. And the English term derived from the term “wife man” but women nowadays don’t have to be wives to be considered women. It is simply the cultural language you use to describe yourself
@@jonjonson-dd7gq Saying "I promise" is the act of promising and this definition is conveying if you say "Im a woman" you are doing the act of being a woman Im not a fan of this definition I prefer "the gender typically associated with the female sex" as that fits with what we know about sex and gender identity more
An online cis woman friend of mine in the USA was refused entry to a toilet, because having masculine features, she was mistaken as being trans. Having been skeptical at first, she is now a solid trans ally. That person claiming human beings can tell cannot even spell "sexes". So much for them trying to appear educated. SNP MP Joanna Cherry was responsible for holding up gender Self-ID in Scotland, which her own party had promised to implement by 2021. She has consistently objected to being called a transphobe. However, she has recently become involved, along with Labour MP, Rosie Duffield, with a right-wing think tank, Policy Report, on their project, "Biology Matters", which claims gender is purely biological. That utterly denies the very existence of trans people, which is not only transphobic, but openly and dangerously so. Therefore, so long as Joanna Cherry denies my existence (I'm non-binary), I am not going to be afraid to spare her feels. She IS a transphobe, and has proven herself to be one by her own actions. And what's, having become involved with a think tank which has the ear of the Conservative government Scotland never voted for, I will openly call this woman who claims to want an independent Scotland, as I do, a unionist and a fucking Tory to boot.
Transtok has made me, an older genderfluid person living in a rural area, feel less isolated. That's why in the last couple months the number of trans people in my TT friends has tripled, I want my trans siblings living in unsafe states to know they are not alone. NorCal isn't 100% because it is a bit conservative here, but I am still feeling lucky to be on the west coast in a LGBT+ friendly state. Now if only we could convince the "LGB without the T," people, that homophobes are not their friends.
My state has officially passed a bill, and I quote; "to ban any entity which receives public funding from providing or allowing its members to provide gender-affirming healthcare to a transgender person of any age, and to ban insurance providers from covering it." What a... lovely... start to 2023. These videos keep me sane while the world around seems to fall further into insanity.
I went to look up Dreamies with the intent of supporting them and it turns out they’re already my cats’ favourite treats and they’re called Temptations here (like a Lays/Walkers thing I guess). Good to know!
Transphobes also forget that menopause is a thing. Women tend to be relegated to the background after a certain age, but being pushed out of the womanhood once fertility has passed is harsh. They're certainly the same people who claim erectile disfunction doesn't happen to "real men". But they also say there are only male and female, so at either of those points in time (or one of their other weird rules) we all become trans.
Transhobia does npt exist. No one is afraid of these possibly mentally ill people. Of course women after menopause are still females - and Jamie is one too, despite her plastic surgeries and hormone injections. Of course there are only males and females. There is no third sex.
Trans people just rolled a 1 on the d20 gender roll when they were born Also, me and the enbies on our ways to destroy the concept of gender so we can just live our lives
I'm afab and allowed a certain medical condition to go untreated. It was a choice that effectively made myself infertile. By transphobes definition, am I a trans man? (No, I'm still genderqueer lol)
I had a very sad time last night wondering to myself if the "loud minority" of transphobes were ACTUALLY a minority or not. it just feels so hard to find positivity for trans people right now. thank you for continuing to post good things for trans people and queer people to enjoy and distract ourselves from the horrors outside 🧡
13:45 I needed to see that, because right now I am going through such a horrible time involving transphobia suddenly anger management police are getting involved
9:28. In the US, Rosa Parks is a black woman everyone learns about in grade school when studying civil rights history. Speaking as a white guy, I find it extremely crass, self-serving, shortsighted, and painfully lacking in self-awareness when white people try to co-opt black civil rights figures to serve their own political ends. Rosa Parks's struggle wasn't primarily for you or me, sister.
They say "woman is someone with the capacity to carry a child", but then they never say something like "a man is someone with the capacity to fertilize a human egg". So either there are a ton more agender people out there (including almost all elderly people) or everyone who isn't a woman is automatically a man, so pensioners are gay. Wrap your head around that!
Watch until the end for some positivity!

@@backgroundchan2984 Cis isn't an identity, it's an adjective. And your argument is an old one - when I was a kid, they were saying "I'm not STRAIGHT, I'm NORMAL". Straight people didn't identify that way because they saw themselves as the default that didn't even need to be labelled, and everyone else was a freakish variation. But they got used to the idea that people not like them *are* normal, and now use the label "straight" without worry. Then, as now, it's not really the word you find insulting. It's the fact that it decentres you as the norm and standard by which all others are judged.
Hey jamie, i dont like paper books so is there ganna be an audio book version?
"A woman is someone who has the capacity to have a child."
_Millions of Americans every day stop being women, but together we can beat menopause._
But also, don't men also have the capability to have a child? Fathers are women too 😂
No no no, the definition was roughly 'have birthed a child or are capable of doing so in the future' and that means that post-menopausal people are still women, because of course every woman must have had a child before then. /s
A woman is someone that has the reproduction system of a woman. Anyone else is not a woman.
@Angie Their comment is a logical fallacy. False equivalence. Good luck explaining that to someone as dense as this.
It’s easy to distinguish man from woman . It also happens that real woman can’t have children
Well shit. All along I thought I was a cis woman, but I lack the capacity to bear children. My mistake.
Those same people might think my mom isn’t a real woman because she had a c-section. I’m “lucky number eight” but I’m an only child. It’s so strange to me that some people assume that all women can just pop out a baby no problem.

For better clarity. He’s a man. So he will stay a man. As I am a women. Even though I don’t look like one.
I think the "we can always tell" is more towards Trans women. A sharper jawline and face structure that is associated with men. Although some cis women have that too.
But if a trans guy has a beard and short hair no one will question it
Imagine finding meaning to your life only by making a marginalised minority feel like sh*t. If their actions weren’t so harmful, I’d feel really freaking sorry for them.

If a bad enough injury can screw up which of your gender definitions somebody fits, then your definitions are screwed.
Someone's gender shouldn't be negated from losing everything below the waist from a bad enough car crash.
Or even a life saving surgery. In rare but still extant cases it is necessary to perform a radical surgical procedure called a hemicorporectomy, in which all bodily material below the hips is removed and vital systems are rerouted, in order to save someone's life. Even thinking less radically procedures like orchiectomy, prostatectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, mastectomy, and even in some cases penectomy are all still used to treat various cancers. Something like that is a traumatic enough experience without a bunch of idiots telling you that you're no longer a woman because you had the gall to survive and seek proper medical treatment.
or even just…a medical condition that’s really more common than everyone thinks it is. both endometriosis and PCOS can mess with fertility - it can get really bad. Endo treatment can include a hysterectomy. PCOS can cause higher testosterone levels, with effects like more hair growth, particularly facial hair growth (i believe there might be some discussion about maybe classing PCOS as an intersex condition, because of the various effects it can have on what we typically use to define sex, because our definition of sex is also incredibly damn flawed).
or even…cancer. cancer can mess with their definition of gender. why? well, breast cancer can necessitate the removal of breasts (and then, shock horror, cis women may desire gender affirming care after a mastectomy), and other cancers (ovarian, uterine, cervical etc.) can necessitate removal of sex organs.
i think the real thing is that they’re just a massive bunch of hypocrites
Or military service. The reconstructive procedures normally associated with gender affirming care were originally developed to help cisgender people, like military veterans and cancer patients, who had lost those parts.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 My grandma had cancer in her uterus and they decided to take the whole thing out. According to them she is no longer a woman. Which is just screwed up

I had massive, complex ovarian cysts at age 26, many surgeries, lost my fertility, and could not adopt due to unrelated poor health; few things personally sting and anger me more than transphobes who insist that procreation defines a woman and gages or value. As much as that attitude hurts me… I wonder how much harder is it for the trans community. Trans women ARE women, and infertile women are, too!!
You are definitely a woman, don't let any transphobe tell you otherwise. It sucks when we get told that we have to have children, and it is not true at all. I hope you find your own happiness.

I recently got a reply on a comment I made just after I first got approved for HRT that just said, and I quote verbatim: "Don't do it..."

Mate, I've been miss-gendered more times than i can remember and i'm just a cis-dude with long hair, your argument is invalid
I'm a cis woman who doesn't wear makeup and has a lower-register voice, and I get misgendered all the time! Luckily, I don't particularly mind, but that statement legit made me snort laugh.
Lmao so true, happened to me as well more times than one would think. And I was just a little girl with a more serious looking face and short hair. Can't fathom there are still people who think my mom has two sons :')
Heck. I was walking my dog once and it was raining. So I had an umbrella. And I passed by this guy. And I said hi to him. He literally said “hello miss.”
I had stubble and was nowhere near feminine. This only thing feminine about me at that point was my voice.
Okay thinking back on that now I just got a rush of euphoria. I already know I’m a trans woman.
i’ve been misgendered loads as well (i’m enby, it happens all the time) but no one can figure out which direction to misgender me in. it’s pretty much an even split when it comes to random strangers as to whether they’ll use masculine or feminine pronouns to misgender me, whether they’ll scream i’ll never be a real man or a woman (both are true), or that they can tell i have whatever chromosomes. i’ve also had people tell me i don’t have periods when i was arguing trans women can call the hormonal cycles they get periods (the cycle of hormones is what causes a period in AFAB people, and in trans fem people on HRT it can produce basically every symptom other than the bleeding) and…i have a uterus. i have ovaries. i have a cervix. they all do stuff, and that includes bleeding very violently every month
There are so many things humans claim to be good at when they’re not.

"If you need to self id as a woman, you're not one"
Me, a cis woman, who self ids as a woman... is aparently not a woman by that logic.
Considering that anyone that has declared themselves a woman, be that in conversation or on a form, has self-IDed, it follows that the only women are those with no capacity for communication. However, if a person can't communicate, they can't confirm their gender status, and, if they gain the capacity to confirm their gender, they're not women if they confirm they are. Hence, we can draw the conclusion that *no* women can *ever* be confirmed to exist.
Well, you are not a woman just because you THINK you are one. You are a woman because you have female sex chromosomes, organs, bones...
Just like Jamie is a female too.
"Cis" woman - who are the not "cis" women - oh right, males. And we have an already existing label for them - MEN.

@@professorfoxtrot it is only to humans that I say cis. Why? Because you can't actually transition to a cat. And trying to say you can is disrespectful to actual trans people. And cis is also a very old adjective/prefix along with prefix/adjective of trans. And yes, trans animals do naturally exist. Frogs can change their sex (I dunno how and quite frankly I don't wanna know) also, as far as I know, cats and dogs can't transition to another sex they are firm set. Unlike some other animals
@@queersoapybar Saying that you can't transition from species is transzoophobic. It is disrespectful to our furry friends who identify as other species, and therefore we must prioritize their feelings. Transitioning between species is equally as valid as transitioning through sexes or transitioning through ages. For example, Michael Jackson really was a child trapped in a man's body.

@@SpringStarFangirl I have a question for you. Maybe I've fallen behind on the correct terms, but last I knew, aro=aromantic, as in not interested in a personal relationship beyond friends, and ace=asexual, as in not interested in a sexual relationship in pretty much any way. And Pan either=pansexual, as in sexually attracted regardless of gender, or =panromantic, as in interested in a romantic relationship regardless of gender. As far as I know panromantic and aromantic are opposites on the spectrum, as are pansexual and asexual. You could be pansexual and aromantic, or asexual and panromantic. But how can you also be Pan anything if you're aromantic and asexual? Unless you use aro/ace because it's easier than using gray or demi or any of the more specific aro/ace categories? I'm legitimately confused, not meaning anything hurtful.

It was amazing to see how much love and support my town has for trans people, when I first came out there was only 5 of us (we literally all knew eachother) it blow my mind to see so many trans/enby people all in one place, well over 300 people turned up to our first pride. Even though I have known afew trans people since I came out , it was amazing to meet so many other people like me. I'm nearly 30 now but the age range was from about 7 to 80+ (parents bring their trans kids of 7 or 8ish and people bringing their trans parents or grandparents and trans people of all ages between) it was amazing and I cannot wait to go again.
I love going to gay pride and I cant wait to go with my family this year but trans pride holds a special place in my heart, I never felt so accepted and safe haha
There was one transphob who made a comment about the situation "being disturbing" while walking past and then the closest people ( about 15 people) started waving flags and showing off their transness (ladies shaking boobies and guys showing chests) and the phob sheepishly left the way they came haha.

Cats are pure. They are pure chaos. But their pure nonetheless.
I once attended a pride parade, which wasn't that big itself, where the "anti-pride protest" was one single woman with a banner in front of the local church. It quickly became a thing for gay couples to detach from the parade to go take turns kissing in front of her while taking a selfie. Not insulting her or arguing, just pissing her off. It got to a point where it looked like she was going to cry. I kinda felt bad for her, but at the same time, I mean, even with a broken voice she was still standing there yelling at us to repent or burn in hell so yeah, she kinda had it coming
I wouldn’t feel bad, she chose this. People kiss, and if kissing brings you to the point of tears then maybe you should see someone about that

The transphobes love to exclude infertile cis women from the definition. I have PCOS I haven't had a period in over a decade and even when I did have periods I wasn't actually able to have a child. So I guess I'm not a woman anymore. 🤷
I gotta say, as a queer trans man, since joining Grindr I've had chasers but no one bashing my body for not being "male". So much better than I feared.
Gay dudes are just too horny to be super transphobic tbh (I say as an Amab enby)
Growing up thinking I was a gay boy I was actually exposed to trans men in a sexial light before trans women. When you're looking to satisfy a certain natural urge of that nature you eventually find that there is a surprising amount of MSM adult material both made by and staring trans men, and it's actually far easier to find stuff that isn't objectifying and dehumanizing featuring trans men then it is to find similar stuff featuring trans women. Overall I'd venture that the gay male community is probably more accepting of a guy with a V than the lesbian community is of a girl with a D, and both are more accepting than the cishet community is of either of the aforementioned. Makes things hard for a girl who's realizing she's leaning hetero.

9:30 Rosa Parks did not stand up for herself so that you could twist her words.
Also very disrespectful to Parks considering her situation was mostly about racism, not sexism, and TERF ideology is basically rebranded “white feminism” which was feminism that excluded black women. 😭
That's not twisting, it's applicability. Surely if you're the least bit honest, you have to recognize that past episode of hatred and discrimination against one group of people can give you insights into insane hatred of another marginalized group today.
My mom was watching a documentary about an early human who was buried with a fighting spear and they were trying to see if the skeleton was female. (It likely was) they had looked at a very specific part of a bone in the ear to see if it was female.
My mom immediately said, "SEE somthing you can't change with surgery." in a smug voice
like if you have to go to the TINY bones in the ears (something that can likely only be done after death) I really don't think it's worth it
also how are places supposed to require people to say they're trans? Are they supposed to put a label on themselves that says their chromosomes??? This is not right, and wouldn't be fair for anyone because even cis people who don't "look cis" could get hurt by this.
Most old skeletons had burial rituals denoted to their gender. This helps as a vast majority of those skeletons are unanle to be identified as one gender or another, due to decomposition and the like.
I have always believed falling in love with someone who you're not supposed to be attracted to, just because they were them, was a thing (a straight man falling for a guy but still identify as straight...). Just because life is not about strict rules. Also, attraction to a certain gender can be dissociated from attraction to a certain bodytype : you can be attracted to only one gender but their genitals and whole body are not that important, or fall in love with someone for their personality and they have the bodytype you are confortable with, and turned out their gender is different but you're already in love.
And if you are ONLY open about one gender, one kind of genitals and bodytipe and agab, that's okay, but just let everyone else live their relationships how they want to !!!!!
The only time someone's status as cis or trans should really matter is with the premise of an intimate relationship of some sort. Like, if you plan to see this person naked, either because of bedtime fun or because you're just rooming together the ace way, then sure, it's okay to ask. But otherwise? None of your business, weirdo.
Yeah the way we categorize sexuality is so restrictive and cisnormative when it’s a lot more complex than just what genders you are attracted to. But I also think those labels are helpful to many
Yeah, being a part of the LGBTQ+ does sometimes feel like you're closed off from parts because you have to fit a certain narrative. Like, I'm not that big on sex and don't have a six-pack ergo many other gay people will just think I'm not up to their standards. Good job that I put my career before my looks and that I just enjoy life solo at the moment
I'm a cis woman and not only do I get misgendered but I have also been asked if I'm trans, or if I'm a "real woman or...?" because of my facial structure and voice I think but all of it is wildly inappropriate and rude to ask ANYBODY those things like wtf.

People would say, "The patients/lunatics are running the asylum". These people always turn out to be extremely transphobic and nasty. Stay safe out there.❤
I LOVE the "happy ending" of this video showing the contrast in turnout for the different protests! With the explosion of very vocal transphobia that seems to be happening lately, I think it's such an important reminder that there probably really are more supportive people than not; the transphobes just seem to be quite loud and getting a lot of airtime at the moment. It is exhausting and disheartening though, even if the transphobes are (hopefully) in the minority. I am currently going through cancer treatment, and though I'm in my 20s, I'm being treated at a children's hospital, as my cancer is more typically seen in pediatrics. On a recent trip to the hospital for one of my clinic visits, there were a bunch of anti-trans people holding up signs at the entrance and protesting gender-affirming care for trans youth -- and meanwhile, I'm literally just trying to come to the hospital for life-saving cancer treatment, and here are all these idiots basically saying that people like me shouldn't be here or really even exist. Some of their signs also said stupid things about "child mutilation", etc., which is just ridiculous, and once again, these people as usual just have no idea what they're even talking about, because if they actually did any real research they'd know that surgery isn't even part of gender-related care for children -- and what these people also seem to fail to realize is that, if children do have proper intervention and care at a young age, it will actually help them AVOID surgery or other more invasive procedures down the road in many cases, because they won't need it to un-do the damage from the first puberty that wasn't supposed to happen! Hell, I WISH I'd been able to have access to the kind of treatment these people claim is "child abuse" when I was younger, because it would've made so many things about my life a LOT less painful! Anyway, the whole experience just pissed me off, and made me especially mad that they were spewing all this hate in front of a freaking CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, where kids and young people are coming for all sorts of treatments, many of which are life-or-death situations (like cancer treatment!), yet all they can focus on is their transphobic agenda -- and I'm sure I'm not the only trans patient who had to see that that day. It just makes me upset that these types of people are getting so much attention in the media -- and, yes, that they spend so much of their time literally just being hateful seemingly for the sake of just being hateful and their own stupid hateful agenda. So anyway, I just really appreciated the reminder at the end here about how even though these transphobes seem to be making a lot of ruckus lately, there really are probably far more people who are supportive than not. It's a wonderful reminder to step back sometimes and focus on the positive things like that.

Yes, I saw that too. But I think it's supposed to be a ripoff of the UnderArmor logo at the same time.
I’d wear it. But after turning it into a x man symbol. I am the DNA.
Jamie is a woman

If transphobes make you feel unsafe, Operation Blazing Sword (led by a trans woman) can help ensuring your safety! This was my little PSA :) Have a wonderful day, spuds!
ok but like what is it, you didn't explain you just said the name of something
@@havocsTeacher- It's basically an organization that helps trans people safely get and keep firearms.
@@LeviAckerman096 that's awesome
@@LeviAckerman096 no no no no firearms god no. transphobia is bad but no violence
@@AngelDelight69 - I agree 100%. I was just saying what the organization was.
I wish you would sometimes explore biphobia, as a bisexual man, in a serious and deep dive way. Because it's so overlooked, and responsible for many deaths in our community, and most people don't even think it exists.
Ew - DEFINITELY NOT JAMIE!! Go try scamming the trans phobes instead. You’ll actually make some $$
Sorry that was for the scammer posing as Jamie above.
I have never heard of biphobia but I am interested and will educate myself.
I would love that too! And also more fun things like these videos but making fun of biphobia or bi memes or whatever. Bisexual content is so hard to find!
@@gh0st_b0yfriend Have you seen the bi videos from One Topic At A Time?
I had a hysterectomy, turns out I'm not a woman anymore. My husband is going to be shocked!
Edit: an exclamation point.
I sure how your husband takes the news about being gay now well 😂
Wait til my dad finds out he's gay.
Your chromosomes do not lie. Think you may.
*Gasp* oh no! 😱
It does not change the fact that human females have ovaries, womb, and obviously these parts are included in the definition of woman. Hysterectomy or not. It is a harder thing to include biolohical males there.
3:44 I am a cis-woman who has given birth to 3 children. As a approach menopause the transphobic community keeps telling me that soon I will no longer be a woman; as only those who can give birth are still women.
This kind of thinking does so much harm to both the the cis-female and trans communities.
I have to pause before the positive ending to share with you the impact trans people have had on me.
As a child and young adult I did really see a difference between gender and sesx and it was weird to me how others didn't see the same thing. I came up with my own terms and often spoke of people when sexing them as "that penis person" or "vagina person" and I didn't even know why. I was 14-20 when I did that. No one questioned it. It seemed reasonable to me and my peers, like, just normal terms. Man and woman was seperate from that completely.
And then I starter hearing about the trans fuckeduppeness of hate and JK Rowling broke my heart. I'm a cis woman, never wondered about that ever. I just really don't understand what the question is. LET PEOPLE LIVE AND BE and just.. wtf. Love you btw. My bf showed me your channel. He's from a very conservative country and he doesn't get the hate either. Some people are trans. It's not complicated.
I wanted to share this since I feel like everyone here would appreciate it. My dad does not understand being trans. What he does understand is that using the wrong pronouns or not accepting people for what gender they say they are is just wrong. If someone tells him they use they/them or that they are nonbinary, he won’t really understand it but will refer to them as they/them and will call them nonbinary. You don’t need to understand being trans to respect a person’s identity and not understanding it is not an excuse, just ask questions if you need to.
We need more people like him. Nobody has to understand being trans or Nonbinary 100%, but just to respect the terms and pronouns is enough.
Even as a nonbinary person myself I don't understand neopronouns like ze/zem or ey/eir, xe/xir, but if someone uses those pronouns I'll give it my best shot to remember.
Same with me not understanding those who have xenogenders, fully confused by the concept and even the definition is not enough for me to understand but the individual understanding their identity is enough.
Your dad may not understand the fine details, but he understands what matters and that's plenty enough.
I dont respect delusions
@@Justarandomguy654
They're not delusions though.
But lets say if someone was suffering from a mental health condition that caused them to suffer from a delusion, so this person believes that they are being spied on by aliens and are highly paranoid about being abducted by them, why would you not respect that, why would you bully them further? They have a mental condition that they can't control, bullying them and shaming them is only going to make it worse. You are also not a psychologist who could help them, maybe they are seeing one to help them get better. You shouldn't act as a psychologist on a professionals behalf, you'll end up making things worse for the poor individual.
People who are trans do not belief that they are the opposite sex, they know that they're trans, gender dysphoria is the disalignment they feel when society perpetrates ideas and roles onto them based on their body part, people wanting others to use different terms for them, such as pronouns can be easily been seen like a peference in a nickname. Some people are trans, some people are Nonbinary, how you can even jump to grand conclusions like "trans being a delusion" is beyond me, its quite a leap and is far from the truth, its disrespectful to trans people and it spreads misinformation about those suffering from actual delusions. Don't talk about delusions if you don't know what a delusion is.
@@neon17.08 what if i genuinely believed that i can fly. Would that be a delusion? What if i believed that i could walk on water, would that be a delusion? But what if i believed i was a girl. Now its accepted and endorsed. People should stop pretending to be something they arent. XX chromosomes means you are a girl. XY chromosomes means you are a boy. Born a boy? Die a man. Born a girl? Die a woman.
Hi Jamie! I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me become more comfortable with myself and I just ordered my first binder two days ago!! I'm so very excited!!!
My brother just straight up said into my face that he is homo- and transphobic. Now all my courage is gone and I will probably never tell anyone how I feel.
~Fin
Sending love homie, your brother sounds like a loser
@@persephoenix I mean atleast he’s honest about being both of those things
My mind is blown too. It is hard to believe people can be so obsessed with something that has no impact on them at all. Why is it so hard to just live and let live and be decent human beings? I didn't think decency was a huge ask.
Thank you for seeing me, Jamie.

Yes, they are outnumbered. Recent polling shows that 2/3 of Americans support trans rights and gender affirming care.
I insist it must be more though because 38% to 48% of voter aged Americans don't vote even in presidential elections (this is our greatest weakness), and we've known for decades that conservatives almost always vote, that means the overwhelming majority of non voters lean left, liberal or egalitarian. Also, less than 30% of Americans were republicans in 2020 (74 million out of 255 million voter aged Americans).

Bigotry is dying off faster than ever now, and they know it. That's why they're acting so desperate lately. There is no rise in bigotry, these people have always been around, they are just mask off now. I remember when most people were bigoted when I was a child, but I've seen this phenomenon speeding up now for decades. When I was a child, you rarely ever even heard the word transgender.
Just saying; humanity is evolving, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.❤🌍🌎🌏
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." :- Mahatma Gandhi
"if you need to self-ID as a woman then you're not a woman" is just such... idiocy! Just shows how little they understand the mental aspects of gender. Yeah, I'm a ciswoman, and I *do* self-ID as a woman.
I don’t understand how they hate using terms like “trans” and “cis” but then go and say trans people are “ignoring biological differences”. Like that’s literally why we differentiate and why we want things like menstrual products to be inclusive lol
Even if one disregards all the general inaccuracy and idiocy of "We can always tell", the transpanic defense is literally an admittence by transphobes that they themselves can't always tell 🙄🔫
I'll bet "they can always tell" when a woman fakes an orgasm too.
Just a reminder to everyone including myself don't forget to eat and drink something today and if you have any meds you need to take please take them.
You are loved
Thanks for this
Trans folks be needing lots of meds

Posie Parker came to Aotearoa NZ, and she and her ilk were massively outnumbered at protests around the country.
L + ratio + trans rights + soup
Her fleeing the country was the best part, she also said "New Zealand is the worst place for women" like no its not, just because you're a women does not mean we need to listen to your outdated ideology and harm a lot of people (and a significant portion of women would be harmed), we love our trans friends and family and we don't need you ruining that.
We also love ourseves to be able to defend our lives and our rights.
@@neon17.08 Speaking of New Zealand, did you hear anything about the push to change the country's name?
@@charliekahn4205
No, but if its to Aotearoa then eh, like New Zealand and Aotearoa are so synonymous now that nobody really would notice. The change has already been happening culturally and socially, but it would help to keep both names on government sites just in case people aren't aware that its the same place.
Question unrelated to the video, is it usually this hard to figure out what places even do gender affirming surgery? because I legitimately managed to find real life surgery photos ON ACCIDENT before actually figuring that out
1. Holy crap, I'm sorry you had to see that without wanting to.
2. I think you can call most facilities or ask workers there if they do gender affirming stuff. That or look up "gender clinics near me" as they usually do that sort of thing.
@@charlieandhisantics9954 alright thanks
This is why we never google image search unless we're sure of the results we'll get. Ouch. Sorry about that, friendo. I'd suggest finding a local planned parenthood or other sexual health or LGBT+ aid program, as they usually have at least a recommendation or two if not a straight-out list of all the places/doctors nearby who will do it.
Most gender affirming surgeries are also for non-gender affirming reasons as well... Such as Cis people's genital damages for whatever reason or elective surgeries such as breast implants or the like, just as hormone therapy is also for Cis peoples with hormone imbalances or post hysterectomy patients. Thus, yes, just as many other types of surgeries can be found online, so to can gender affirming surgeries. If one is seeking these photos or videos, they can also be obtained through surgeons who specialize in these types of surgeries.
I actually have the perfect definition of a woman! A woman is ANYONE who identifies as a woman! 💯
that leaves the question of well "what exactly are you identifying as" I like the definition of "The gender typically associated with the female sex" because that doesnt really leave room for what is that exactly
Perfect definition
But they think that’s avoiding the question even though it’s right. I have to give them a whole essay on how “woman” is an abstract social category that evolved from the category placed on those who appeared to fit what we call the female sex. But it is specifically the language used for and cultural role traditionally associated with the female sex, not the female sex itself. And the English term derived from the term “wife man” but women nowadays don’t have to be wives to be considered women. It is simply the cultural language you use to describe yourself
The brain is the definer, not the anatomy because we all interact with people with our brain far more than we interact with our anatomy
@@jonjonson-dd7gq Saying "I promise" is the act of promising and this definition is conveying if you say "Im a woman" you are doing the act of being a woman Im not a fan of this definition I prefer "the gender typically associated with the female sex" as that fits with what we know about sex and gender identity more
🤣🤣🤣 I am a cis gay man and I have dated a trans woman and 10 years later , I dated a trans man. So I'm not really gay? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's hilarious!
An online cis woman friend of mine in the USA was refused entry to a toilet, because having masculine features, she was mistaken as being trans. Having been skeptical at first, she is now a solid trans ally.
That person claiming human beings can tell cannot even spell "sexes". So much for them trying to appear educated.
SNP MP Joanna Cherry was responsible for holding up gender Self-ID in Scotland, which her own party had promised to implement by 2021. She has consistently objected to being called a transphobe. However, she has recently become involved, along with Labour MP, Rosie Duffield, with a right-wing think tank, Policy Report, on their project, "Biology Matters", which claims gender is purely biological. That utterly denies the very existence of trans people, which is not only transphobic, but openly and dangerously so.
Therefore, so long as Joanna Cherry denies my existence (I'm non-binary), I am not going to be afraid to spare her feels. She IS a transphobe, and has proven herself to be one by her own actions.
And what's, having become involved with a think tank which has the ear of the Conservative government Scotland never voted for, I will openly call this woman who claims to want an independent Scotland, as I do, a unionist and a fucking Tory to boot.
Transtok has made me, an older genderfluid person living in a rural area, feel less isolated. That's why in the last couple months the number of trans people in my TT friends has tripled, I want my trans siblings living in unsafe states to know they are not alone. NorCal isn't 100% because it is a bit conservative here, but I am still feeling lucky to be on the west coast in a LGBT+ friendly state. Now if only we could convince the "LGB without the T," people, that homophobes are not their friends.
My state has officially passed a bill, and I quote; "to ban any entity which receives public funding from providing or allowing its members to provide gender-affirming healthcare to a transgender person of any age, and to ban insurance providers from covering it." What a... lovely... start to 2023. These videos keep me sane while the world around seems to fall further into insanity.

I am pre testosterone and I've already been told by people that I pass!!
Transphobes also forget that menopause is a thing. Women tend to be relegated to the background after a certain age, but being pushed out of the womanhood once fertility has passed is harsh. They're certainly the same people who claim erectile disfunction doesn't happen to "real men". But they also say there are only male and female, so at either of those points in time (or one of their other weird rules) we all become trans.
Transhobia does npt exist. No one is afraid of these possibly mentally ill people.
Of course women after menopause are still females - and Jamie is one too, despite her plastic surgeries and hormone injections. Of course there are only males and females. There is no third sex.

I had a very sad time last night wondering to myself if the "loud minority" of transphobes were ACTUALLY a minority or not. it just feels so hard to find positivity for trans people right now. thank you for continuing to post good things for trans people and queer people to enjoy and distract ourselves from the horrors outside 🧡
13:45 I needed to see that, because right now I am going through such a horrible time involving transphobia suddenly anger management police are getting involved
9:28. In the US, Rosa Parks is a black woman everyone learns about in grade school when studying civil rights history. Speaking as a white guy, I find it extremely crass, self-serving, shortsighted, and painfully lacking in self-awareness when white people try to co-opt black civil rights figures to serve their own political ends. Rosa Parks's struggle wasn't primarily for you or me, sister.
I just want Rosa parks to come back from the dead and slap these people. It would be extremely cathartic.
They say "woman is someone with the capacity to carry a child", but then they never say something like "a man is someone with the capacity to fertilize a human egg". So either there are a ton more agender people out there (including almost all elderly people) or everyone who isn't a woman is automatically a man, so pensioners are gay. Wrap your head around that!
