according to some parents, yeah.... stay small, don't have your own opinions, be completely dependant on them.......... funny enough, they will still expect you to not pee your pants at 30, even if they insist on the rest staying the same.
This is a little message to all of the trans people out there: Never compare yourself to cis people. You are not less of man/woman for not being born one. You are wonderful no matter what, you may not see that, but others see it. I will support you no matter what because you deserve it, you fabulous royalties!
I get to be the husband every Tuesday. It started out as a joke because I said it made me sad that I would never get to be a husband, but now it's just a weekly thing. I'm non-binary, and my husband makes a point of using masculine pronouns all day, and it makes me really happy. She/her pronouns don't usually bother me, but it is really comforting during times when they do.
That “If you’re really trans, why didn’t you have crippling dysphoria at the age of 3” You fool I was wearing boy pants and boy shoes because they were comfy and started questioning if my mother was lying about me saying I was girl! (I think I was 4 or 5)
Lol age 3 i didn't know there was a difference between boys and girls. It was "wear what you want play what you want" kinda house. I only got disphoria and stuff from the outside world messing with me.
I didn't had crippling dysphoria at that age, yeah. But at that age I also ate with my hands, shut up you didn't knew you were going to be a picky poophole at that age, Karen.

A thing that as someone in this community that irks me a tiny bit is how people say “cis people don’t question their gender so if you are confused, then you’re trans” It is perfectly fine to question your gender and find out that you are cis. Questioning your gender is normal, you should not have to feel obligated to come to the conclusion that you are trans. You are valid no matter what conclusion you come to
I always assumed I was straight cis male but a few months ago I started to learn about lgbtq+ in depth for the first time & since then I’ve been rather uncertain. I very well might be cis but I don’t know right now. There are certainly things about myself that in retrospect might be evidence to not being quite as cis or as straight as I initially assumed. For now I simply don’t know for certain.
Yeah, I feel like asking questions is normal and healthy. It can clarify for cis people that they are cis. I (cis-woman) was kind of curious what it would be like to have male genitalia, then asked myself if I would actually want to change to that, and the answer was a resounding NO lol. Also had multiple conversations with my mother in my childhood that liking camping and fishing and being willing to kill the bugs and liking olives (yes, really) didn't make me "like a boy" it just made me me. 🙄 (She wasn't questioning if I was trans, she just felt betrayed or something idk 😂.) In fact, I've become so confident in identifying as a woman that gender dysphoria actually makes more sense to me, because I imagine being in a male body and being super freaked out. So yeah, people should be fine with asking questions.

When I was 3 I cried for like an hour when I realized my dad wasn't gonna let me dress as Queen Amidalla from star wars, and instead I had to be Darth Maul... sounds bratty but I wanted to wear the pretty dress, so bad 😅... but hey, now I'm an adult who can wear as many dresses as she wants 😆😁🏳️⚧️!
Saw a little boy wearing a princess dress at church today and lemme tell you I have never had more faith in humanity. ALSO YA'LL I GOT A SKIRT AND A DRESS THAT I LOVE. Since I realized I was nonbinary I've been really self-conscious about wearing feminine clothing because I want to pass, but sometimes I just say "frick this" and wear whatever I want and I LOVE my new dress!!!
Cloths have no gender and dresses and skirts are amazing! Weird how boys cloths are allowed as neutral in our minds, but a dress outomatically means female.... Mmost of human hisyiry dresses where neutral too so rock them if you feel like it! A fellow, though mostly fem presenting enby❤
“Dresses are for girls!” The idea for skirts and dresses were actually invented for men. In Sparta, the Spartan warriors would wear skirts in battle. The women who hunted and took care of the children while the men were at war made pants because they needed the protection in the cold when they were out hunting. The Ancient Greek men wore togas. All of these became the roots from where dresses and skirts originated from, so were dresses really just for woman?
On that note, were dresses made for women at all? Like heels. Men wore heels to show status and power. The higher the heel, the more important you were. Women were not allowed to wear heels. We started wearing heels to show dominance and rebellion.
I... no. Spartan women did not hunt, nor wear pants to do it in. At least not the actual citizens of sparta. For a citizen of sparta, there were two jobs, soldier if you were a boy, wife and babymaker if you were a girl. Literally -everything else- in their society was accomplished solely by slaves (about whom precious few historical records were ever penned). Sparta was a tyrannical state that heavily enforced gender norms, second only to harsh classism. Those norms were not the same as those of modern day, true, but don't go making up lies about their dress and customs just to push your narrative. Spartan women wore robes (specifically the dorian peplos), as did most greeks. and even when they participated in sports as girls, they wore a sort of skirted tunic called the chiton. Also, sparta is at the southern most tip of Greece, at about the same latitude as the capital of fucking Tunesia in North Africa. so what are you on about with 'protection from the cold'? god i hate how people love to just talk complete nonsense about ancient Greece whenever it suits them.
@@badflamer I don't know much about how correct the original comment is, but I do know that Spartan women had more rights than women in any other Greek city-state at the time, and were considered citizens. Gender norms were also a lot less strict there than anywhere else, considering their heads were shaved to make them appear more masculine. I do agree with a lot of these points, though.
I love how people will tell my ftm brother that he was "born a man and will never be a real woman and we can all tell your physically male attributes!" So, a ftm trans man passes so far as cis that you see them with a trans pride flag and assume they're transitioning the other way around? R/Accidental-Ally if I've ever seen it lmao, love transphobes who do that, who will do a whole backwards flip and in their hate, go into accidentally validating the feelings and experiences of someone they want to "disagree" with
7:25 Fun fact: This myth began with a study on trans people. The study didn't, y'know, ask trans people when they started feeling dysphoria. The study went onto a transphobic website and asked parents of trans people when they thought their child started experiencing gender dysphoria, in which they said it was extremely young. This led onto the idea of "rapid-onset gender dysphoria", which was ripped to shreds by the scientific community. According to more generally accepted studies (and i can confirm this anecdotally), gender dysphoria starts at puberty
I was a little doubtful, because while I had a big dysphoria moment when I was 5/6 I didn't think about it or feel bad about being male after that until a few months ago (I'm 14 now) so I was, and still am, doubtful since there was a break from it
Most of it is correct, but it was several sites for parents, one of which possibly not transphobic(they are unsure) and my memory is horrible, but I believe the parents claimed their kids would “suddenly in their teens start experiencing dysphoria” Ppl can start experiencing dysphoria at any time and for some it could simply be that they experienced dysphoria, but didn’t know what it was and possibly tried to ignore it in an attempt to make it go away.
There's a truck and bus company in Tenerife called Transalex. Every single freaking time I go there and see the trucks and buses with the giant Transalex text on them, I think "oh, Alex came out as trans? Good for them. Bold of them to do that so publicly on all these buses and trucks."
On the subject of gender euphoria I remember my two most memorable moments of gender euphoria. 1: When my whole family did a cross dressing photo for sh*ts and giggles ("boys" wore dresses and girls wore overalls). I felt so incredibly happy about it, and I always felt like I enjoyed it more than I should've. It took me a decade and a half to realize why. 2: The first time I went out in "girl mode". I had told my (at the time) girlfriend that I liked to wear women's clothing in private and I had a name picked out for me. I still didn't realize I was trans yet, but she could see and she encouraged me to go to an LGBT+ friendly bar in "girl mode". I got nothing but compliments the whole time and it was amazing.
Me who feels like a guy but also a girl/enby/etc but doesn’t know if I hate gender norms or I am trans or not and is ok if I were in a feminine/masculine/androgynous body who also likes to do feminine things like makeup and traditional women’s clothing: *yesn’t*

I really like the TikTok sound “everyone is going to die and no one is going to remember you so... f*ck it.” Cause I was able to convince my mom to let me cut my hair, I wasn’t able to get it the exact length I want but I got it cut to my shoulders. I’m saying this cause OT mentioned the TikTok abt halfway through the video
I hope you can continue getting it closer to the length you want 💜 and remind your mum that hair always grows back (this is what my sister did when she wanted to get her hair cut short when she came out as NB. Five years and she's still not grown it back out 👍👍)
Just keep trying to convince her. And it’s not her body you gotta be comfortable too! If she doesn’t respect that she should reconsider having children. Cause it’s not for them but it’s for herself

I stumbled on these videos. After watching his videos on trans memes, I started to realize how much I related with them. And coming from a conservative Christian background, there were a lot of worries and stress. But the wholesome energy here made it easier for me to accept that I may be a woman.
The whole Dysphoria thing and if you need it to be trans, was really harmful to me when I figured out I was non-binary/genderfluid, and I'm AFAB, so when I felt comfortable with presenting feminine, I was thinking that I might not be trans, because I felt kinda comfortable being called she/her. And in the next moment, I want to hide in my room all day and not have a physical body because it isn't the body that fits how I see myself. So, If you don't experience gender dysphoria, you're just as valid as a person who experiences extreme dysphoria. Being more comfortable in a gender that isn't your AGAB is what makes you trans, not being extremely uncomfortable in your body. You're valid and amazing the way you are
@@thesummoner6462 @the summoner For some people it may be very difficult to figure out exactly, so please take your time. In my experience, the thing that I do to validate and assure myself that i'm non binary is just asking myself the following question: "Do I feel exclusively like a binary man or a binary woman?" In my case, it took me months since I first started questioning, but im finally confident of who I am. I use non binary as an unlabel or an inexclusive identity to say that im not a binary man or woman, yet, I don't feel like using any labels with an exclusive feeling. I went trough labels such as demigirl, then bigenderflux, boyflux, and libragender before, so remember that non binary is not a third gender and more of an unlimited spectrum of identities.

Random paleontology fact, this is more of a survival tip, don't know when or how is it gonna be useful but here goes: if you ever find yourself being chased by a carnotaurus (for some reason) then run in a zig zag pattern and try your best to cut corners every chance you get because while you can't outrun a carno you can definitely out maneuver them. This is due their caudal ribs which kinda look like a 3 prong Y, this adaptation was made to anchor a muscle called caudofemoralis longus on the 2 sides and attached to the femur which help them achieve the speed of 30-35mi/h (48-56km/h), this however reduce the muscle that keeps the tail stable so to counter this they have their caudal ribs interlock to stiffen the tail, as a trade off it limit their flexibility. So during a chase if you take a sharp turn there's a high chance the theropod will stumble and fall TLDR carno traded agility for mobility so now their legs & tail are dumb and you can take advantage of it

One of my favourite arguments against religious homophobes is the "Jesus is trans" one. (To explain, if Mary was a virgin, that means the child would only inherit XX chromosomes - female chromosomes. And if Jesus is a boy; he, then he must be trans right? Logically speaking?)
Haha! I'm glad I could share my knowledge and I also like the eve is trans to go against "it's Adam and eve, not Adam and Steve". Eve was made from Adam's rib, so she had male parts. So yes. It is Adam and eve, not Adam and Steve: Steve is her dead name :) Not to mention, in the ORIGINAL transcript of the bible, it said "a man shall not lay with a boy". It was against p*doph¡lla, not homosexuality. There was nothing against homosexuality in the bible until it was rewritten in order to purposefully be against gay people.
7:02 for this meme i want to mention something about my experience on learning i was nonbinary when i was younger i never exactly felt gender dysphoria on anything, i was fine with me being a girl who had an unhealthy addiction to pink and princess like the stereotypical girl does, only when i started researching what nonbinary meant about 2 years ago was when i actually found out i was nonbinary, and being referred to with they/them and my chosen name made me much happier i didn’t experience gender dysphoria the moment i came out of the womb and yet i am trans(ftnb - female to nonbinary) and absolutely no one can tell me my identity is wrong or i’m “pretending” since i wasn’t dysphoric all my life it might be because i have a hard time recognizing my emotions which could’ve caused me to not recognize i was dysphoric about my gender and name but still it takes people different amounts of time to recognize “hey, i’m feeling this way and it’s not how most others feel” and that’s ok, it only took me until i was 12-13 to learn i was feeling gender dysphoria and im 15 now, there’s nothing wrong with learning later in life i also feel like with recognizing gender dysphoria and being trans could be a cultural thing some people lived in environments where lgbtq+ topics weren’t commonly talked about and/or was looked down upon, so some people learn about this stuff way later in life, like how with me i only learnt i was nonbinary at 12-13 because it was incredibly uncommon for people around me to talk about that stuff, like the first time i learnt what gay meant was in my 6th grade sex ed since my family and friends never talked about it while with other people, specifically gen-z and younger, have easy access to the internet, and the internet talks about gender and sexuality quite frequently, so they are able to learn about lgbtq+ and themselves earlier than most others don’t judge people for not knowing or recognizing things about them later in life, some people, like me, are just completely oblivious to their own emotions or end up thinking it’s a normal thing that everyone thinks about(obviously not saying that this is not normal but it’s not something everyone thinks about) thanks for reading if you did, sorry if what i said makes no sense i’m horrible with words lol i hope you have a lovely rest of your day/night and make sure you go drink some water and get a snack, self care is very important and you’re worth the effort

I'm a cisgender woman, with a low voice, broad shoulders, and huge hands and feet. I've literally shopped at drag queen shops to find cute shoes, and have lent those shoes to AMAB people. I actually have some gender dysphoria because I've felt like I wasn't woman enough most of my life. But like it's only because people obsess over hands and feet and make these and other tiny details so important that it not only effects trans people, but cis people who don't perfectly fit the transphobes definition of cis. Basically, ally for life. I don't know what you're going through. But can imagine, and empathize with the gender standards you face.
I mean, the brain has a lot of ways of trying to reconcile your current situation with internal identification. If you're questioning and turn out to be trans, cool!

The Riley's male emotions are anger and fear. Both are great examples of what emotions someone would be feeling if they didn't identify with their body rather that be because they are non-binary or trans. It's possible that Riley was scared to tell her parents how she felt and that she was mad at herself for not being able to just be a normal girl. If she was trans that would explain how through the movie she becomes very distant from her parents and closed off. When someone is experiencing dysphoria they can feel numb. not really happy or sad more discussed, scared, and angry. The same emotions that were left to run the command center for most of the movie. They plan to go back to her old home was her trying to go back to where she felt herself. And the moment at the end was her returning to her parents and then accepting her and happy to see her after she ran away because she didn't like her new home (or like how a kid would feel after coming out and having accepting parents). Not that I know anything about accepting parents. I am trans though and know how it feels to live with people who don't accept you. This was supposed to be short but ended up in a rant.

The thing with "If you're thinking a lot about a thing, you probably are" hits really close to me. for a while, I had thought I might be trans, but I was worried I might only be doing it to fit in with other trans people I know. Oh, the wonders a little encouragement can do...
“If you have a shot at happiness, go for it.” Those are exactly the words I needed to hear 💜 It’s been a rough past few weeks in the way of dysphoria in a household that doesn’t accept anything beyond their perceived norm, so hearing this after second guessing myself and considering giving up on the idea of transitioning for my family’s sake...it really helps.

"No matter how high or low your voice is, the coolest thing in the world is that it's yours" I'm a singer - 2 years opera, 5 years directing a choir (and now working EMS, go figure). To EVERY single person here: your voice is beautiful, and yours uniquely. The beautiful thing about the voice is that nobody can take it from you. Sing in the shower, yell in the streets, use it as a weapon and defense, use it to paint your reality, and most importantly LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. Wherever and whenever it escapes you, whether in songs or wails or shouts or whimpers or quiet whispers; to crowds and masses, to your walls, to someone close in the quiet between two breaths; let your voice echo through you into the world. It's so, so important to let that voice out. And hey, if you want to let it out in song there are more than enough choirs willing to take you in and help you develop it. Music saved my life. Your voice is important.

Riley's parents weren't the only ones, everyone whose internal world is shown in the movie with the exception of Riley only has emotions of the same sex. On the subject of Pixar characters who could be trans, I'm the only person I've encountered who noted this, but I feel like there was something distinctly feminine about the body language of the main character of Luca. To me, Luca is 100% a trans girl, and I'm dying to find someone else who felt the same.
I don't fully agree with Luca as I saw it more as symbolizing homosexuality based on the relationship between Luca and Alberto and how the rest of the town treated both of them among other things. I do agree with you on Riley though, right off the bat Riley is a gender neutral name. Like you said she has mix gendered emotions but when you look at what her emotions genders are things support they're potential trans or NBness even more. You have disgust and sadness as females, Riley's assigned gender which could be a reflection on how they feel about their assigned gender. Then fear and anger are men which could reflect their emotions towards coming out, transitioning, how would others react, why does this have to be so hard. Then you have the main emotion being a female joy, rather then reflecting Rileys feelings towards their gender, joy is used as a mask. Literally the whole movie revolves around joy taking control of most situations, pushing away the other emotions primarily sadness to sort of force Riley into a happy front all the time. Until the movies conclusion where joys reliquishes her control and finally let's Riley process their emotions.
I think that luca’s uncle was trans, since he’s based off an angler fish. With angler fish, the females are typically larger and have that light thingy on their head. The males are like an itty bitty fish that find a female and stick to her

Listen, I may be nonbinary with depersonalization issues, but my reasoning for shapeshifting as a power is that, depending on the form, you can also get flight, strength, speed, etc. Like, so many powers wrapped into one haha

I think Riley is bigender. Including her emotions and the most important imaginary person in the movie, her brain is 50% male 50% female. The one in control at the beginning is a girl, her biological sex, and she tried to make Riley mostly her. But by the end her mind is more stable and the group is more equal in importance.
Be real convenient too. Just "grab" something off the counter as you walk by without having to turn/reach/detour. Don't need to go all the way across the kitchen to get the cream outta the fridge, back to the coffee pot, then all the way back to put it away and then *back again* to get your coffee
Hey! Local trans woman here to once again thank OT for making these videos. I recently got to a point in my transition where I feel really happy with the way I look (after 1 year and 8ish months on hrt)! Also a fun fact: I've also found that I don't handle heat nearly as well since I've started transitioning. Also yes, dresses/skirts are great for keeping cool, would recommend.
This is one of the ones that always hits really close to home for me. The number of times I told myself I couldn't be trans because I liked girls, while also being weirdly obsessed with lesbians for completely unrelated reasons, was crazy. (Ended up being bigender rather than full-on trans, but still).
“Would you rather- Have the voice of the opposite sex or Have the muscle mass/body-build of the opposite sex” Me-* Questioning my entire existence * Also me - But I want both… so I’ll choose “or” confuse the asker and steal the gender Euphoria
When I was in college my roommates and I proved at length that telekinesis was the objectively best power but I always wanted to be able to shapeshift. Fast forward. 2019: come out as a trans woman 2020: legal name change and start HRT 2021: cut my parents out of my life because they won’t even use my name
I contest that with being incorporeal and being able to turn it on and off. If you can use it to it's full potential, not only can you just walk through walls to access places you otherwise wouldn't, you also just can't be threatened with physical harm. At that point, it's really easy to get a lot of money if you don't mind doing some unethical things and you can use the dishonest money to passively generate honest money on the books. Now you don't have to work and are free to pursue any number of passion projects or self improvement. Generate enough passive income and you're basically free from social and legal consequences. Then if you don't want to live an easy life and would rather change how the system works so that everyone can have a better life, who can stop you? You can't be threatened physically, and anyone who tries to oppose you politically or threaten your assets you can destroy their personal life or their business. On top of having a superpower that makes you untouchable in a literal sense, you also gain the super power of being obscenely rich. You could buy up large amounts of land and rent out housing from apartment complexes to larger homes for families at the bare minimum it needs to sustain itself so that other people have to lower how much they charge for rent to be competitive. You could open multiple chains that require no experience and hire with a starting wage slightly above the cost of living. You could open up "private" schools and universities without a tuition and remake the curriculum so the public is actually well educated in ways that matter and then only learn about higher maths and sciences that aren't useful in day to day lives if they pursue those courses for personal interest or to get a career that uses them. If you can offer the best education that gives people the best jobs, you get to control how education looks so you get to decide what is normalized since you control a good chunk of how people are socialized. You could pressure and bribe politicians to shape laws how you prefer. Any power that lets you get an absurd amount of money opens up a lot of doors, and being incorporeal just helps protect you from the ways people want to hurt you that money can't necessarily protect you from. Or you can just be a vigilante because super powers.
sorry about your parents, but the rest: good on you! (also good to cut out people who are toxic, i just wish we didn't have to). You're gonna find your way, girl!
Today I came out to my parents as genderfluid and watching this video before talking to them helped give me courage to be gentle and understanding while unapologetic and proud. Thank you for all you do OT
@Jonathan Armstrong thank you! Sadly they were condescending and dismissive of it but it was what I expected. And at least they said they'll try to not dead name me to my face... But my chosen family has been amazing and tremendously supportive!
I know that this video is almost 2 years old, but dear OT, I hope you se this, that meme at 0:50 - 1:00 reminded me that Japanese singer, Utada Hikaru came out as non binary in 2020 (or was it 2021?) and they said "I've never liked being called 'mister' or 'miss' but I do like being called 'mys' being short for 'mystery' because my gender is a mystery." And I absolutely loved that.
10:20 In South Australia, I always see transit trucks with ‘Hi-Trans’ on them so now I instinctually go “oh hi!” When I see one and “bye!” When it leaves.

OMG the one about the dog and "Look at him go" is something I do a lot. I've had people get so mad at me for calling their dog/pet a "he" when its not male... like dude, i'm just wanting to gush over your animal. "Dude" is another one. Girls in my HS would get so *piiiiissed* when I called them dude. the word dude to me doesn't just mean male people; its just a general word for anyone.
Ot consider: you shapeshift so there's like water under you, and you move the you-water, and you're a water bender. You could fly by turning yourself to a gas or trick people into thinking you're an angel by giving yourself wings. I have thought about this far too much Also I am biromantic AND trans, so I'm not dealing with my identity crisis well :' >
exactly i wanna be a shapeshifter so i can fly but not have to worry about my wings when walking through doorways and stuff. also the ability to have a tail sometimes so i could carry more stuff or make two pie crusts at once, but not have a tail all the time so i can wear regular clothes i have thought about this way too much
Same. I would 100% use it to turn into an angel and tell people God does not hate the LGBTQ+ and to stop using the bible to spread hate, that through understanding science people come closer to God, and that climate change is real and humans need to get their crap together to stop the world from becoming uninhabitable, and then use my wings to fly away to drive home the point, and while I know it won’t get through to everyone it will get through to some. And then just make random appearances to keep reinforcing those statements. When I disappear I turn into a cloud of vapour that seems to be glowing a bright white and then fly off turning invisible via chameleon like effects. When I return home, I can look like someone else and be happy knowing I’m in my ideal form, because why make the Angel look just like me and make people question. And then I’ll shapeshift to give myself “tattoos” I want and when I get good enough at it have the tattoo shift around on my body like a dragon crawling around. I’ll be a paragon of light and positivity, and an eldritch entity waiting to reveal myself while simultaneously be a simple happy woman. Also when things open back up to the public, anime/video game conventions, if I can shift clothes as well, I have no real reason not to be winning a number of contests. Then I start streaming games and … can you tell that as a shapeshifter the possibilities are near infinite for one with the imagination to get them done.
@@shakespearesreincarnation7943 better than a tail, you could have like 8 arms Also smaller things like making yourself bioluminescent, or just chilling as a fish in the sea. Trick sailors into thinking they've seen a mermaid, possibilities are endless
@@AgessiaNyxera yes! This is perfect in every way! Although at conventions you could fully shift your body and clothes to fit a certain cosplay. Spreading love and moving tatts sounds like a perfect use of the power though

I get to be the husband every Tuesday. It started out as a joke because I said it made me sad that I would never get to be a husband, but now it's just a weekly thing. I'm non-binary, and my husband makes a point of using masculine pronouns all day, and it makes me really happy. She/her pronouns don't usually bother me, but it is really comforting during times when they do.
That “If you’re really trans, why didn’t you have crippling dysphoria at the age of 3”
You fool I was wearing boy pants and boy shoes because they were comfy and started questioning if my mother was lying about me saying I was girl! (I think I was 4 or 5)
I didn’t understand anything as a child. Then I grew up and I was like:
*oh роор.*
Lol age 3 i didn't know there was a difference between boys and girls. It was "wear what you want play what you want" kinda house. I only got disphoria and stuff from the outside world messing with me.

A thing that as someone in this community that irks me a tiny bit is how people say “cis people don’t question their gender so if you are confused, then you’re trans” It is perfectly fine to question your gender and find out that you are cis. Questioning your gender is normal, you should not have to feel obligated to come to the conclusion that you are trans. You are valid no matter what conclusion you come to
Yes!
I always assumed I was straight cis male but a few months ago I started to learn about lgbtq+ in depth for the first time & since then I’ve been rather uncertain. I very well might be cis but I don’t know right now. There are certainly things about myself that in retrospect might be evidence to not being quite as cis or as straight as I initially assumed. For now I simply don’t know for certain.
Y E S
Yeah, I feel like asking questions is normal and healthy. It can clarify for cis people that they are cis. I (cis-woman) was kind of curious what it would be like to have male genitalia, then asked myself if I would actually want to change to that, and the answer was a resounding NO lol. Also had multiple conversations with my mother in my childhood that liking camping and fishing and being willing to kill the bugs and liking olives (yes, really) didn't make me "like a boy" it just made me me. 🙄 (She wasn't questioning if I was trans, she just felt betrayed or something idk 😂.) In fact, I've become so confident in identifying as a woman that gender dysphoria actually makes more sense to me, because I imagine being in a male body and being super freaked out. So yeah, people should be fine with asking questions.
Yeah like I went through a thing where I was questioning whether or not I was a boy (im a cisgender lesbian for the record) but I now know im cis

“Dresses are for girls!”
The idea for skirts and dresses were actually invented for men. In Sparta, the Spartan warriors would wear skirts in battle. The women who hunted and took care of the children while the men were at war made pants because they needed the protection in the cold when they were out hunting. The Ancient Greek men wore togas. All of these became the roots from where dresses and skirts originated from, so were dresses really just for woman?
Dresses/skirts were made for men for free pp
On that note, were dresses made for women at all?
Like heels. Men wore heels to show status and power. The higher the heel, the more important you were. Women were not allowed to wear heels. We started wearing heels to show dominance and rebellion.
I... no. Spartan women did not hunt, nor wear pants to do it in.
At least not the actual citizens of sparta.
For a citizen of sparta, there were two jobs, soldier if you were a boy, wife and babymaker if you were a girl. Literally -everything else- in their society was accomplished solely by slaves (about whom precious few historical records were ever penned). Sparta was a tyrannical state that heavily enforced gender norms, second only to harsh classism. Those norms were not the same as those of modern day, true, but don't go making up lies about their dress and customs just to push your narrative.
Spartan women wore robes (specifically the dorian peplos), as did most greeks. and even when they participated in sports as girls, they wore a sort of skirted tunic called the chiton.
Also, sparta is at the southern most tip of Greece, at about the same latitude as the capital of fucking Tunesia in North Africa. so what are you on about with 'protection from the cold'?
god i hate how people love to just talk complete nonsense about ancient Greece whenever it suits them.
@@badflamer I don't know much about how correct the original comment is, but I do know that Spartan women had more rights than women in any other Greek city-state at the time, and were considered citizens. Gender norms were also a lot less strict there than anywhere else, considering their heads were shaved to make them appear more masculine. I do agree with a lot of these points, though.

7:25 Fun fact: This myth began with a study on trans people. The study didn't, y'know, ask trans people when they started feeling dysphoria. The study went onto a transphobic website and asked parents of trans people when they thought their child started experiencing gender dysphoria, in which they said it was extremely young. This led onto the idea of "rapid-onset gender dysphoria", which was ripped to shreds by the scientific community.
According to more generally accepted studies (and i can confirm this anecdotally), gender dysphoria starts at puberty
I was a little doubtful, because while I had a big dysphoria moment when I was 5/6 I didn't think about it or feel bad about being male after that until a few months ago (I'm 14 now) so I was, and still am, doubtful since there was a break from it
I remember a few instances from as young as 5, but it wasn't usually very strong until ~14.
@@evinr3231 same
Most of it is correct, but it was several sites for parents, one of which possibly not transphobic(they are unsure) and my memory is horrible, but I believe the parents claimed their kids would “suddenly in their teens start experiencing dysphoria”
Ppl can start experiencing dysphoria at any time and for some it could simply be that they experienced dysphoria, but didn’t know what it was and possibly tried to ignore it in an attempt to make it go away.

On the subject of gender euphoria
I remember my two most memorable moments of gender euphoria.
1: When my whole family did a cross dressing photo for sh*ts and giggles ("boys" wore dresses and girls wore overalls). I felt so incredibly happy about it, and I always felt like I enjoyed it more than I should've. It took me a decade and a half to realize why.
2: The first time I went out in "girl mode". I had told my (at the time) girlfriend that I liked to wear women's clothing in private and I had a name picked out for me. I still didn't realize I was trans yet, but she could see and she encouraged me to go to an LGBT+ friendly bar in "girl mode". I got nothing but compliments the whole time and it was amazing.

The whole Dysphoria thing and if you need it to be trans, was really harmful to me when I figured out I was non-binary/genderfluid, and I'm AFAB, so when I felt comfortable with presenting feminine, I was thinking that I might not be trans, because I felt kinda comfortable being called she/her. And in the next moment, I want to hide in my room all day and not have a physical body because it isn't the body that fits how I see myself.
So, If you don't experience gender dysphoria, you're just as valid as a person who experiences extreme dysphoria. Being more comfortable in a gender that isn't your AGAB is what makes you trans, not being extremely uncomfortable in your body. You're valid and amazing the way you are
How the hell do I know if I'm non-binary
@@thesummoner6462 @the summoner For some people it may be very difficult to figure out exactly, so please take your time. In my experience, the thing that I do to validate and assure myself that i'm non binary is just asking myself the following question: "Do I feel exclusively like a binary man or a binary woman?" In my case, it took me months since I first started questioning, but im finally confident of who I am. I use non binary as an unlabel or an inexclusive identity to say that im not a binary man or woman, yet, I don't feel like using any labels with an exclusive feeling. I went trough labels such as demigirl, then bigenderflux, boyflux, and libragender before, so remember that non binary is not a third gender and more of an unlimited spectrum of identities. You are valid and I wish you good luck in your inner exploration, stranger on the internet o7

Random paleontology fact, this is more of a survival tip, don't know when or how is it gonna be useful but here goes: if you ever find yourself being chased by a carnotaurus (for some reason) then run in a zig zag pattern and try your best to cut corners every chance you get because while you can't outrun a carno you can definitely out maneuver them. This is due their caudal ribs which kinda look like a 3 prong Y, this adaptation was made to anchor a muscle called caudofemoralis longus on the 2 sides and attached to the femur which help them achieve the speed of 30-35mi/h (48-56km/h), this however reduce the muscle that keeps the tail stable so to counter this they have their caudal ribs interlock to stiffen the tail, as a trade off it limit their flexibility. So during a chase if you take a sharp turn there's a high chance the theropod will stumble and fall
TLDR carno traded agility for mobility so now their legs & tail are dumb and you can take advantage of it

OT knows what he's talking about, telekinesis is badass. That has always been my superpower of choice.
Though now that I'm older and, in the past year, have discovered I'm genderfluid... Shapeshifting WOULD be a hell of a lot better.
The first time I saw (x-men) mystique, I thought- I wanna be that.
I used to want to be like wolverine when I was younger but in my teen years wanted shapeshifting with the excuse that I could get away with doing stuff. Now as an enbie/GQ person I empathise with your statement x

One of my favourite arguments against religious homophobes is the "Jesus is trans" one.

Not to mention, in the ORIGINAL transcript of the bible, it said "a man shall not lay with a boy". It was against p*doph¡lla, not homosexuality. There was nothing against homosexuality in the bible until it was rewritten in order to purposefully be against gay people.
7:02 for this meme i want to mention something about my experience on learning i was nonbinary
when i was younger i never exactly felt gender dysphoria on anything, i was fine with me being a girl who had an unhealthy addiction to pink and princess like the stereotypical girl does, only when i started researching what nonbinary meant about 2 years ago was when i actually found out i was nonbinary, and being referred to with they/them and my chosen name made me much happier
i didn’t experience gender dysphoria the moment i came out of the womb and yet i am trans(ftnb - female to nonbinary) and absolutely no one can tell me my identity is wrong or i’m “pretending” since i wasn’t dysphoric all my life
it might be because i have a hard time recognizing my emotions which could’ve caused me to not recognize i was dysphoric about my gender and name but still
it takes people different amounts of time to recognize “hey, i’m feeling this way and it’s not how most others feel” and that’s ok, it only took me until i was 12-13 to learn i was feeling gender dysphoria and im 15 now, there’s nothing wrong with learning later in life
i also feel like with recognizing gender dysphoria and being trans could be a cultural thing
some people lived in environments where lgbtq+ topics weren’t commonly talked about and/or was looked down upon, so some people learn about this stuff way later in life, like how with me i only learnt i was nonbinary at 12-13 because it was incredibly uncommon for people around me to talk about that stuff, like the first time i learnt what gay meant was in my 6th grade sex ed since my family and friends never talked about it
while with other people, specifically gen-z and younger, have easy access to the internet, and the internet talks about gender and sexuality quite frequently, so they are able to learn about lgbtq+ and themselves earlier than most others
don’t judge people for not knowing or recognizing things about them later in life, some people, like me, are just completely oblivious to their own emotions or end up thinking it’s a normal thing that everyone thinks about(obviously not saying that this is not normal but it’s not something everyone thinks about)
thanks for reading if you did, sorry if what i said makes no sense i’m horrible with words lol
i hope you have a lovely rest of your day/night and make sure you go drink some water and get a snack, self care is very important and you’re worth the effort

I'm a cisgender woman, with a low voice, broad shoulders, and huge hands and feet. I've literally shopped at drag queen shops to find cute shoes, and have lent those shoes to AMAB people. I actually have some gender dysphoria because I've felt like I wasn't woman enough most of my life. But like it's only because people obsess over hands and feet and make these and other tiny details so important that it not only effects trans people, but cis people who don't perfectly fit the transphobes definition of cis.
Basically, ally for life. I don't know what you're going through. But can imagine, and empathize with the gender standards you face.
“Am I really trans?”
When doubting being trans makes you trans
“This makes no sense”
That's it! If this type of doubt makes me trans thwn I sure as hell am.
my brain : *thinks*
me : stahp
I mean, the brain has a lot of ways of trying to reconcile your current situation with internal identification. If you're questioning and turn out to be trans, cool! If you're questioning and turn out not to be trans, cool! Follow whatever makes sense to you. It may take awhile, but the journey helps make you more secure in who you really are.
"telekinesis is handy" isn't the point that you don't use your hands ?
I mean you can wave you hands to help control the telekinesis or wave it just for flare,like how magicians wave a wand.

The Riley's male emotions are anger and fear. Both are great examples of what emotions someone would be feeling if they didn't identify with their body rather that be because they are non-binary or trans. It's possible that Riley was scared to tell her parents how she felt and that she was mad at herself for not being able to just be a normal girl. If she was trans that would explain how through the movie she becomes very distant from her parents and closed off. When someone is experiencing dysphoria they can feel numb. not really happy or sad more discussed, scared, and angry. The same emotions that were left to run the command center for most of the movie. They plan to go back to her old home was her trying to go back to where she felt herself. And the moment at the end was her returning to her parents and then accepting her and happy to see her after she ran away because she didn't like her new home (or like how a kid would feel after coming out and having accepting parents). Not that I know anything about accepting parents. I am trans though and know how it feels to live with people who don't accept you. This was supposed to be short but ended up in a rant.
I was trying to understand the symbolism of Samuel L Jackson threatening the skirt man with Miss Frizzle, then it wasn't until the end that I realized she was a censor bar ;-;
no, it turns out Frizzle was the deadly weapon they should fear.
“does that mean you should remain poor all your life?” as a poor person I can attest that yes, a lot of people feel this way, unfortunately.

Fun Fact: Kilts allow you to hide more knives on your body
It's the Knilt!
Yes. Very much yea
Us Scots used to actually keep a knife tucked into our sock on our dominant side as a backup weapon it's called a Sgian Dubh it was hidden by the kilt so it was intended to be used to surprise an enemy when the Scottish warrior had been knocked over or had dropped their sword or it broke which rarely happened because the Highlanders prided themselves on having the finest swords
"No matter how high or low your voice is, the coolest thing in the world is that it's yours"
I'm a singer - 2 years opera, 5 years directing a choir (and now working EMS, go figure).
To EVERY single person here: your voice is beautiful, and yours uniquely. The beautiful thing about the voice is that nobody can take it from you. Sing in the shower, yell in the streets, use it as a weapon and defense, use it to paint your reality, and most importantly LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. Wherever and whenever it escapes you, whether in songs or wails or shouts or whimpers or quiet whispers; to crowds and masses, to your walls, to someone close in the quiet between two breaths; let your voice echo through you into the world. It's so, so important to let that voice out.
And hey, if you want to let it out in song there are more than enough choirs willing to take you in and help you develop it. Music saved my life. Your voice is important.
fun fact: in the bad batch, given the information we've been given, either litterally every clone ever is a trans guy, or omega, a main character, is a trans girl. we know this because she is an exact replica of jango fett, a man. this means that omega cannot be afab, assuming jango is amab.

I’m kinda nervous at how it’ll go over the next week, month, year, even decade, but I think/hope I’ll be where I want to be.
I wanted to thank you OT, you helped me out through a tough time and gave me something to smile about even after I left my abusive stepfather and discovered who I am. WIthout your videos, I wouldn't have been able to go on and smile, knowing that there are people out there who don't care that I'm trans, aro, or on the ace spectrum and will accept me no matter what.
There are a lot of people that care and will love you for it too
"Would you rather the voice or muscle mass of the opposite sex" joke's on them, I got both for the price of one!
I used to dislike that I ended on a tenor, but now that I'm certain I'm enby I enjoy still having a higher range. My voice sometimes still gets ma'am'd, it cracks me up every time now
it's a lot of fun to then lower your voice by willpower, and grumble “I'm not a ma'am“ so they get ashamed.
as a kid I always thought I sounded like a boy, which annoyed me back then but now it's like, "cool. I can sound like whatever I want."
I've been grappling with my gender identity more recently and these videos really do help. 💙
Riley's parents weren't the only ones, everyone whose internal world is shown in the movie with the exception of Riley only has emotions of the same sex. On the subject of Pixar characters who could be trans, I'm the only person I've encountered who noted this, but I feel like there was something distinctly feminine about the body language of the main character of Luca. To me, Luca is 100% a trans girl, and I'm dying to find someone else who felt the same.
I felt the same for Riley, not luca tho, but i get gay/bi vibes from him
I don't fully agree with Luca as I saw it more as symbolizing homosexuality based on the relationship between Luca and Alberto and how the rest of the town treated both of them among other things.
I do agree with you on Riley though, right off the bat Riley is a gender neutral name. Like you said she has mix gendered emotions but when you look at what her emotions genders are things support they're potential trans or NBness even more. You have disgust and sadness as females, Riley's assigned gender which could be a reflection on how they feel about their assigned gender. Then fear and anger are men which could reflect their emotions towards coming out, transitioning, how would others react, why does this have to be so hard. Then you have the main emotion being a female joy, rather then reflecting Rileys feelings towards their gender, joy is used as a mask. Literally the whole movie revolves around joy taking control of most situations, pushing away the other emotions primarily sadness to sort of force Riley into a happy front all the time. Until the movies conclusion where joys reliquishes her control and finally let's Riley process their emotions.
I honestly got afab vibes from Alberto
I think that luca’s uncle was trans, since he’s based off an angler fish. With angler fish, the females are typically larger and have that light thingy on their head. The males are like an itty bitty fish that find a female and stick to her
Yeah, I totally headcanon Riley to be genderfluid.
"I think everyone would benefit from therapy" my therapist (lovingly and jokingly) threatened me with a nerf gun after I said I was dumb in my most recent session :')
See, now I want that

I think this is a tactic more therapists should consider adopting.
Listen, I may be nonbinary with depersonalization issues, but my reasoning for shapeshifting as a power is that, depending on the form, you can also get flight, strength, speed, etc. Like, so many powers wrapped into one haha

I think Riley is bigender. Including her emotions and the most important imaginary person in the movie, her brain is 50% male 50% female. The one in control at the beginning is a girl, her biological sex, and she tried to make Riley mostly her. But by the end her mind is more stable and the group is more equal in importance.
my preferred super power would be being able to shut my thoughts at night and have peaceful sleep. every night. that would be amazinggg

This is one of the ones that always hits really close to home for me.

Fast forward.
2019: come out as a trans woman
2020: legal name change and start HRT
2021: cut my parents out of my life because they won’t even use my name
I contest that with being incorporeal and being able to turn it on and off. If you can use it to it's full potential, not only can you just walk through walls to access places you otherwise wouldn't, you also just can't be threatened with physical harm. At that point, it's really easy to get a lot of money if you don't mind doing some unethical things and you can use the dishonest money to passively generate honest money on the books. Now you don't have to work and are free to pursue any number of passion projects or self improvement. Generate enough passive income and you're basically free from social and legal consequences.
Then if you don't want to live an easy life and would rather change how the system works so that everyone can have a better life, who can stop you? You can't be threatened physically, and anyone who tries to oppose you politically or threaten your assets you can destroy their personal life or their business. On top of having a superpower that makes you untouchable in a literal sense, you also gain the super power of being obscenely rich. You could buy up large amounts of land and rent out housing from apartment complexes to larger homes for families at the bare minimum it needs to sustain itself so that other people have to lower how much they charge for rent to be competitive. You could open multiple chains that require no experience and hire with a starting wage slightly above the cost of living. You could open up "private" schools and universities without a tuition and remake the curriculum so the public is actually well educated in ways that matter and then only learn about higher maths and sciences that aren't useful in day to day lives if they pursue those courses for personal interest or to get a career that uses them. If you can offer the best education that gives people the best jobs, you get to control how education looks so you get to decide what is normalized since you control a good chunk of how people are socialized. You could pressure and bribe politicians to shape laws how you prefer. Any power that lets you get an absurd amount of money opens up a lot of doors, and being incorporeal just helps protect you from the ways people want to hurt you that money can't necessarily protect you from.
Or you can just be a vigilante because super powers.
sorry about your parents, but the rest: good on you! (also good to cut out people who are toxic, i just wish we didn't have to). You're gonna find your way, girl!

I know that this video is almost 2 years old, but dear OT, I hope you se this, that meme at 0:50 - 1:00 reminded me that Japanese singer, Utada Hikaru came out as non binary in 2020 (or was it 2021?) and they said "I've never liked being called 'mister' or 'miss' but I do like being called 'mys' being short for 'mystery' because my gender is a mystery."

Girls in my HS would get so *piiiiissed* when I called them dude. the word dude to me doesn't just mean male people; its just a general word for anyone.
Ot consider: you shapeshift so there's like water under you, and you move the you-water, and you're a water bender. You could fly by turning yourself to a gas or trick people into thinking you're an angel by giving yourself wings. I have thought about this far too much
Also I am biromantic AND trans, so I'm not dealing with my identity crisis well :' >
exactly i wanna be a shapeshifter so i can fly but not have to worry about my wings when walking through doorways and stuff. also the ability to have a tail sometimes so i could carry more stuff or make two pie crusts at once, but not have a tail all the time so i can wear regular clothes
i have thought about this way too much
Same. I would 100% use it to turn into an angel and tell people God does not hate the LGBTQ+ and to stop using the bible to spread hate, that through understanding science people come closer to God, and that climate change is real and humans need to get their crap together to stop the world from becoming uninhabitable, and then use my wings to fly away to drive home the point, and while I know it won’t get through to everyone it will get through to some. And then just make random appearances to keep reinforcing those statements. When I disappear I turn into a cloud of vapour that seems to be glowing a bright white and then fly off turning invisible via chameleon like effects. When I return home, I can look like someone else and be happy knowing I’m in my ideal form, because why make the Angel look just like me and make people question. And then I’ll shapeshift to give myself “tattoos” I want and when I get good enough at it have the tattoo shift around on my body like a dragon crawling around. I’ll be a paragon of light and positivity, and an eldritch entity waiting to reveal myself while simultaneously be a simple happy woman. Also when things open back up to the public, anime/video game conventions, if I can shift clothes as well, I have no real reason not to be winning a number of contests. Then I start streaming games and … can you tell that as a shapeshifter the possibilities are near infinite for one with the imagination to get them done.
@@shakespearesreincarnation7943 better than a tail, you could have like 8 arms
Also smaller things like making yourself bioluminescent, or just chilling as a fish in the sea. Trick sailors into thinking they've seen a mermaid, possibilities are endless
@@AgessiaNyxera yes! This is perfect in every way! Although at conventions you could fully shift your body and clothes to fit a certain cosplay. Spreading love and moving tatts sounds like a perfect use of the power though
Yo try having Borderline Personality Disorder and question your identity now that's fun
